I have a hard time rating this one. I think this book should have come with several warnings. I don't want to use an over-used word, but I found this book to be extremely triggering and I think some hard topics weren't handled with the care they should have been. It is definitely well written, but it was very hard for me to read through certain scenes and dialogues without knowing there'd be safety in the words at the end.
