Moderate: Alcoholism, Body horror, Bullying, Confinement, Domestic abuse, Emotional abuse, Gun violence, Mental illness, Misogyny, Racial slurs, Sexism, Sexual assault, Violence, Xenophobia, Police brutality, Grief, Stalking, Car accident, Schizophrenia/Psychosis , Gaslighting, Sexual harassment, Injury/Injury detail, and Classism
How hard these triggers hit will vary person to person, hence why I put all of them in moderate, not that they were all moderate to me. Nothing kept me from wanting to read the rest of the book. I can’t wait to get to the next 2.bookishperseus's review

I did like the idea behind how the antagonist’s plan worked, and using white and light colours as something dangerous. Unfortunately, the one interesting city formation concept is dropped almost immediately after it comes up and the ending didn't make any sense with what was already established.
I feel like the author could have saved me a few hours of reading time by just typing up a Tumblr post about how much she hates Staten Island and leaving it at that.
