The Maidens by Alex Michaelides
spoiler for the Animal Death CW: a character is writing about his past and details an incident when his father shoots his dog, killing it. The character had a strong bond with this dog and it is quite upsetting and senseless violence
Spoiler for the Child Abuse and Pedophilia CW: late in the novel it is revealed that a female character was groomed from a young age by a male character that was close to her and sort of like a father figure. It can be assumed that this male character has sex with the female character while she is underage. Since she is not old enough to consent, I also tagged CW rape.

Might return to this one day, but right now I am just tired of books where the FMC is a young woman with limited experience and the MMC is hundreds of years old.

Couldn't get into it. I do not like reading about pregnancies and I didn't adore the narrator.
This book was recommended to me by a customer, maybe I will pick it back up one day.
