Moderate: Eating disorder
My major complaint about this book is that the author talks about food in a really black and white way: healthy or BAD, and uses characters struggling with food as a bad metaphor for lack of self confidence. I think this content could be triggering for someone who struggles with eating disorders even though there’s no explicit talk of eating disorders (at least not named as such).beca_reads's review against another edition

Gosh, I love these characters and these mysteries. I really don't know how Osman manages to make these stories so emotional and so hilarious all at once, but reading these books feels so similar to spending an afternoon with my grandma after she's imbibed half a bottle of vodka and watched one too many episodes of Longmire on Netflix.
We follow this zany group of geriatric sleuths as yet another mystery falls into their laps. This time, we don't just have the local police department, but MI6, a school teacher turned drug tycoon, revenge, and the power of social media.
I can't give much detail without spoiling previous events, but all of our (surviving) characters are back and their relationships and depth is unparalleled. You will laugh. You will wonder. You will feel the bone-deep ache of sorrow. You will have a great time and, when it's over, you'll check the release date for book three and find out it comes out in September 2022 and text your cousin and she'll scream and you'll scream and it'll be wonderful.
