If you like to read content warnings before reading a book, then I suggest you look them up for this book. It's not the most extreme piece of writing, but I found myself surprised by the contents because I had picked it up based on the cover and title. This book covered some heavy themes and I found it provocative. I thought the depth of writing was better suited to a short story than a novel. The author note mentions that this novel was adapted from a short story and I would have preferred to read the short story.
Graphic: Sexual assault, Sexual violence, and Transphobia
Moderate: Drug abuse, Drug use, Fatphobia, Blood, Murder, and Toxic friendship
Minor: Adult/minor relationship, Emotional abuse, Violence, and Alcohol
Don't read this book if you prefer to read books where the narrator is likeable
