Holy shit. This book needs every trigger warning that exists and more. The absolute BIGGEST downer. If you struggle with depression, run far away because there is no light at the end of this tunnel. I had to FIGHT to finish this one for a work reading challenge otherwise I would have dropped after page 21. 95% of the book took forever to get through then the last 2 chapters went off. Still shook.
