Boy these queer kids are traumatized. Every content warning you can think of applies. This one is especially difficult if you have past experiences with manipulation and grooming. This book fits so much despair, grief, and pain in it, yet provides hope for healing from intense childhood trauma. I cried at the author's note at the end- if you're a survivor, Victoria Lee wrote this for you.
