Complicated
Wow! This is a lovely story and it hits really well. I love the narration and I love the story and I love the characters and I just love it. There's so much power in every word, in every line. It feels honest, like I know it was pulled straight out of the mind of a real teenager. I'm so so happy to have finally read this one. I wish I had read it so much sooner.
Graphic: Body shaming
Minor: Sexual assault
heavy parental abuse
