Looking for peer review, amateur writing

This is a chapter from something I’m working on. A novel?? about a young woman looking back on her life using the metaphor “a cat has nine lives.” Most lives much more mundane but each representing a loss of innocence/ milestone of understanding herself and the world around her. I never claimed to be a writer, my therapist suggested journaling and I enjoyed it much more than I thought I would. This is one of the intense parts, something I wasn’t sure exactly how to write effectively. I don’t want it to come off as straight trauma dumping, but I don’t want to run away from it either. Also, I fear i’m coming off very tumblr sad girl writing :( #help ⚠️⚠️huge trigger warning for this content, SA and violence⚠️⚠️
Looking for honest critique to improve, I have thick skin so tell me if it sucks or I should rewrite it differently

Good unique crime reads?

I love a good crime book, but i’m bored of the cliche stuff. Nothing involving a secret millionaire murder or big mafia stuff. Something more day to day like a morally grey narrator and low level crime. I think it would be interesting to read something where the mc isn’t just a victim or a detective. Also kinda bored of murder mystery as a whole I’m looking for something much smaller scale crime wise, where the focus is more on world building and unique characters inner struggle.
