This book deals with so much that I feel like it doesn’t have the ability to deal with anything “properly”. Why is that in quotes? Well I’ll tell you. 

The issues (check for CW cuz there are so many) are talked about and dealt with both professionally and respectfully but they really are just touched on. They’re a huge part of the plot but not properly explained or even dealt with. So it’s respectful and tasteful but it doesn’t exactly focus on why it’s serious or why it matters. 

I did enjoy it. The characters are well rounded and the narrator did a fantastic job with voices to keep the characters separate and I appreciate that in an audiobook.
