Minor: Alcohol, Child abuse, Sexism, Sexual harassment, and Stalking
➸ Trigger warnings for sexism, queermisia (theme), sexual harassment recounted, child abuse, domestic abuse, suicide by gun violence mentioned (multiple), alcohol consumption, hospitalisation for physical injuries, death of a mother, death of a father from suicide, murder, gun violence, knife violence & stabbing, physical assault, blackmail, and stalking. Context: • Will is hospitalised for extensive injuries sustained during a physical assault (suspected hate crime). She suffers from a broken wrist, dislocated fingers, fractured ribs, and a laceration to her face. • The love interest's father and uncle are blackmailed about their sexuality. Her mother forced her father to marry her, officially claiming her pregnancy as his child, so she would not out his relationship with Wallace. He later dies by suicide from a gunshot due to the pressure of being closeted. • Lots of discussion or innuendos about the legality of queer relationships as well as period typical sexism.prettycloud's review against another edition

This is a noir book, so it fulfills the genre conventions of people getting beat up and shot at regularly (including getting murdered that way). Many of the characters are LGBT+, and they experience period-appropriate homophobic violence and threats to their livelihood. The narrator ends up in a hospital at one point, but no harm to her body or agency takes place there. The narrator's mentor has multiple sclerosis but works in spite of it.
