The book was written really well, but it was a tough read. Sylvie is severely emotionally abused, and it made it hard to read the book for long stretches at a time. Sylvie's romantic feelings for Lukas also made me uncomfortable.
Graphic: Emotional abuse, Incest, and Suicide
Moderate: Adult/minor relationship and Infidelity
