I thoroughly enjoyed this book. There is no motive of trying to create a character to root for or a hero to develop. It is a girl growing up as a foreigner, being exposed to the cruelty of adults and peers and her descent into her own madness.
Graphic: Body horror, Mental illness, and Self harm
Moderate: Sexual harassment
Minor: Sexual assault
