Minor: Suicide
In regards to the sexual violence, this is tricky. A character self harms by engaging in kinks and rough sex that clearly hurts her and wrecks her mental health. One scene in particular becomes non-consensual but is quickly stopped.juliafrancsca's review against another edition

The casual way sex is discussed between character is distinctly foreign to American readers, and the freedom afforded by it that isn't really a part of American purity culture made the novel an interesting read as it shifted from familiar to foreign and back again.
Normal People is going to be a book I cherish in the future, but in the way a classic is cherished. The writing was magnificent and I was enthralled by the plot.
