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.e_lace's review against another edition

Skim does an amazing job at conveying character and emotion. Teenage angst practically leaps from the page.
The story is nuanced, tender and real.
I feel like some elements could have been explored even further, but all in all: A great book that I'll definitely pick up again.
