5.0
It feels wrong rating this book 5. But I gave it 5 stars not because I liked how "dark and depressing" this book is but because I got caught up with the story. Reminds me how tragic human lives could end up in effect of unfavorable circumstances and the evils living among us.
Graphic: Death, Emotional abuse, Rape, Murder, and Classism
Moderate: Misogyny, Blood, Grief, Death of parent, and Abandonment
