Content Warnings

Graphic: Animal death

Moderate: Adult/minor relationship, Child abuse, Death, Drug use, Grief

Minor: Bullying, Domestic abuse, Infertility, Infidelity, Pedophilia, Rape, Sexual assault, Sexual content, Forced institutionalization, Stalking, Death of parent, Murder, Alcohol, Sexual harassment

spoiler for the Animal Death CW: a character is writing about his past and details an incident when his father shoots his dog, killing it. The character had a strong bond with this dog and it is quite upsetting and senseless violence

Spoiler for the Child Abuse and Pedophilia CW: late in the novel it is revealed that a female character was groomed from a young age by a male character that was close to her and sort of like a father figure. It can be assumed that this male character has sex with the female character while she is underage. Since she is not old enough to consent, I also tagged CW rape.
