I just love this book! I enjoyed reading it so much.
Graphic: Death, Toxic friendship, Cultural appropriation, and Racism
Moderate: Sexual assault, Misogyny, and Cursing
Minor: Islamophobia, Racial slurs, and Suicidal thoughts
Sexual Assault - Is not described. Is referenced throughout the story.
Misogyny - Not blatant, but it's mentioned one character refutes that misogyny is still a thing in the publishing industry. Many insults towards the characters are rooted in misogyny.
Islamaphobia - Is only mentioned once.
Note: There is a scene where the main character cruely and publicly humiliates one of their students, a minor.
