What's the age rating of this book? I heard it's 16+. If so, then what's in that book that makes it 16+? If it's not 16+, what age rating then, specifically?

Camila I dont think this book should be rated16+. The book itself doesnt have any explicit scenes, but it does talk about more complex and mature topics and philosophies. I would argue that someone with 14 or 15 could read this book but the level of understading and interpretation of the book would depend on the maturity of the person. Other than that the book does include some violence and harsh topics like suicide or murder but its not described in a grotesque way or very explicity, so I would say its fine
