This might be a crazy question but I've been told this is YA by some, then been told its middle grade by others... Which is it?

Amanda Definitely not middle grade, as it deals with some very heavy topics in detail. I think it's more suitable for older teens.…moreDefinitely not middle grade, as it deals with some very heavy topics in detail. I think it's more suitable for older teens.(less)

They aren't all exactly like this, where the kid is abused, but all of them have one thing in common: characters that you fall in love with, who are struggling with very real trauma (like abuse or eating disorders or whatever.)

I'll list them here, but I also keep a shelf of these tyes of books that I think are amazing, so I'll link that shelf at the end too.

Hi. My cousin wants to read this book but she is extremely upset by descriptions of physical and sexual abuse? Is there content of this nature? If so, how descriptive is it? Spoilers are OK. Thanks in advance?

Some of the abuse is graphic, some is not, but the Julian describes the pain and the injuries in first person. Toward the end, it gets pretty intense. (less)

Maybe one of the list just so happens to be the places shes gone but it looks as though for the most part the lists are just factual stuff (top 10 coldest countries or foods that end with the letter "r".
