At the end of the book the phrase “that was the bravest thing I’ve ever seen” is used and somehow neither time is in reference to when someone selflessly took multiple bullets for the main character, which is truly wild.
Graphic: Hate crime, Injury/Injury detail, and Blood
Moderate: Car accident, Grief, Panic attacks/disorders, and Gun violence
Minor: Racism, Rape, Alcohol, Pregnancy, Sexual assault, and Xenophobia

As always, Sonali Dev turned out another absolute delight. I absolutely loved the push and pull in Yash and India's relationship. They both clearly wanted a relationship with each other, but they cared so much about the other's happiness that things just never worked out. They have this instant love connection that grows into a beautiful friendship, despite their initial challenges getting along due to their history.
I loved how despite their instant connection, things weren't instantly easy, and that they had to put in work to get themselves individually to a point where they could support a healthy relationship with each other.

The SA/Rape incident occurred prior to the events of the book, but are discussed as an important part of them healing and being comfortable in a relationship. Pregnancy is of a side character, mentioned occasionally.
