PLEASE READ if you find SA triggering. BIG note: consent is dubious in this novel. The love interest goes down on the heroine while she's unconscious the first time they meet due to what I can only call a cultural difference. She wakes up and ends up being ok with the situation, and they proceed to establish consent for every other sexual encounter, but this would definitely be triggering for a lot of people. There is also a r*pe scene very early on in the novel, though it is meant to be disturbing/sad (as it should). It isn't extremely graphic, but you know the gist of what's happening.
