I feel this graphic novel is one that would benefit you in re-reads to come. The ideas were neatly simple and remarkably complex simultaneously and even as a graphic novel, it's dense content and I may or may not have survived a full fledged novel with the same themes. And yet, it's the visuals that likely do make it a profoundly visceral experience in this case in tandem with the story.
Graphic: Body horror, Confinement, Emotional abuse, Forced institutionalization, Grief, Fire/Fire injury, and Gaslighting
Moderate: Police brutality
Minor: Homophobia, Xenophobia, and Lesbophobia
