This was a very quick read. Lots of triggers but an honest portrayal of how it may feel to be young and not know what’s going on.

Underage smoking is present. Sexual jokes and slut-shaming pop up occasionally. Frequent "jokes" about suicide and self-harm. The 16-year-old main character is infatuated with her adult teacher, with some brief visuals of them kissing and several scenes of them in the teacher's house. There is also some vaguely uncomfortable behavior there on the protagonist's behalf, with her independently finding her teacher's address in the first place.
