I am UNWELL. This book is so many things, and it’s biggest talent has to be how it masterfully swings between the depths of despair and the joys of young love and self-discovery. Mungo, my sweet boy.
Graphic: Homophobia, Rape, and Violence
Moderate: Domestic abuse and Abortion
The main conflict of the book is centred around the sectarian and gang violence in Glasgow of the 1990s.
