What are the trigger warnings for this book (without delving into spoilery, graphic detail)? I'd like to read it, but I need to know whether it'll actually be harmful to me to read it.

Maranda Really hard not to spoil while also giving accurate trigger warnings.
But I will try:

----------

TW: sexual abuse, child sexual abuse, scary verbal abuse, psychological manipulation and gaslighting, kidnapping/imprisonment, many modes of self-harm, a violent accident, a few moments of prejudice against the disabled, drug use, addiction, grief and loss of a loved one. Many of these aren't just mentioned, but described at length in graphic detail.
That said the book is incredible.
