Minor: Homophobia
This book is incredibly intense, as it covers topics of abuse and family curses. However, for this who can read it, it Carrieās an ultimately hopeful message, and watching a hopeless character grow to realize that she does indeed have hope and support and is ultimately good is worth the read.
