This book is pretty unhinged, I was truly not expecting things to go where they went at the end. Really made me think about societal expectations and pressures and how it affects mental health. Particularly gender roles, misogyny, childhood trauma, and sexual abuse and its affect on a person.
Graphic: Body horror, Misogyny, Pedophilia, Sexual assault, Sexual content, and Sexual harassment
Moderate: Gore, Mental illness, Toxic relationship, and Violence
