Content Warnings

Graphic: Suicide, Suicide attempt, Suicidal thoughts, Grief, and Death

Moderate: Bullying, Chronic illness, Cultural appropriation, and Car accident

Minor: Alcohol and Child death

This book is not a terrible book in terms of bad content. But there is continuous mention of possibly sensitive content to the extent of wanting the reader to learn from these things. Like
