Praise

“#triggerwarning takes us deep into the complicated, skewed world of Baines College, a small liberal arts school in the woods of Vermont, full of eccentric personalities and dark secrets; a powder keg just waiting to go off. Coleen Kearon has crafted a page-turning literary novel full of suspense and surprises, that shows us how far people can go when pushed to extremes.”
