Content Warnings
Graphic: Grief and Car accident
Moderate: Biphobia, Sexual content, and Death of parent
Minor: Panic attacks/disorders
This is a book about grief and is just as messy as grief is. It’s not for everyone and that’s okay. Emezi’s writing is as talented as every- brief yet deeply descriptive. Not my favorite piece of theirs, but a good summer read.
