Anyway! There are some great stories in here, which isn't surprising since it's a pretty heavy hitting cast of authors. MT Anderson's was probably the darkest, Jason Reynolds' might have been my favorite. At the end of the day, it's still a short story collection though.
Graphic: Vomit, Death of parent, and Fire/Fire injury
Moderate: Mental illness, Racism, and Homophobia
Minor: Mass/school shootings, Blood, and Transphobia
