Fails the Bechdel Test pretty miserably. It's a well-written novel, but I feel like Nick Hornby can't write a woman main character who doesn't build her entire life around desiring a man's companionship.
Graphic: Alcoholism and Infidelity
Moderate: Sexual content and Toxic relationship
Minor: Car accident, Miscarriage, and Stalking
