I only read this because I heard how much uproar Fox News has made about it. My mom said they showed entire pages blurred out as they were “too pornographic”. None of it was true. The same situations are described in numerous books on high school bookshelves. I read this in one sitting. Beautiful story! The art is so distinctly unique. The message is personal and familiar to me. I can’t remember the last time I’ve read such a profound graphic novel. This book has really opened a new door for me. :)
Graphic: Adult/minor relationship, Ableism, and Bullying
Moderate: Cursing
Minor: Abandonment, Child abuse, Homophobia, Toxic relationship, Drug use, Confinement, and Excrement

I won't give this graphic novel a rating because I won't give a rating to someone's life. It is a hard topic and I praise the author for being so vulnerable.
I do however wanna point out that there is a lot of ableism against people with down syndrome, and even the use of the r word.
So, be cautious.
One thing I loved, this graphic novel is so... quiet. A lot of snow, no hard sounds. Perfect if you wanna enjoy a quiet moment alone
