Very solid book. The author writes very nicely and in the audiobook version I appreciate the striking of sentences with an audible sound, it makes you feel involved in the story. Some of the description's seem like she used a thesaurus to find very niche synonyms but other than that very engaging. The vibe was very 2014 Tumblr hate myself core, I am a monster not one loves me etc. It is difficult to say if this is overdone or not because the plot itself is very focused on the protagonists 'flaws'
Graphic: Abandonment
Moderate: Forced institutionalization
