I've always wanted to read this, but I never expected to love it. I think it touched on every cruel aspect of life and the world, and I was glad that it never held back. It talked about the cruelty towards young women, people of color, impoverished people, etc. the writing was also amazing, and I could perfect picture almost everything.
Graphic: Child death, Suicide, and Suicide attempt
Moderate: Adult/minor relationship, Pedophilia, Racism, and Sexual content
Minor: Racial slurs
