• No OW drama
• Does have OM drama
– After a fight – where the Heroine thinks they're broken up but the Hero doesn't – the Heroine is kissed by her best friend's older brother (who is the best friend of the Hero). It reads as assault tbh because the Heroine says no and attempts to push him away but the aftermath doesn't treat it like that.
• Does have the Hero pushing the Heroine away
• Does have a ~1-week separation (both are celibate, although there is OM drama)
Possible Triggers: Yes

• Attempted r@pe of side character by the same side character
• Sexual assault of Heroine (nonconsensual kissing) by supporting character
• Teenage pregnancy of supporting character where parents bring up abortion and attempt to force their daughter to give the child up for adoption
• Hero was physically and emotionally abused by his father until he moved in with his aunt and uncle at 13 years old
• Death of Heroine's sister-in-law who was pregnant
• Death of parents (before the book started)
