I think this book is in excellent conversation with the femme fatale trope of '40s and '50s film noir, even as it subverts it. It's a great illustration of how desire can twist into control and possession. When you have a main character living in profound denial, there will be tragedy in the end.
Moderate: Death, Death of parent, Domestic abuse, Grief, and Physical abuse
Minor: Classism, Xenophobia, and Racism
