Ableism: there's an adult character that may have a developmental disability. People talk down to him and use disparaging words to describe him, and he is portrayed as being unintelligent. It's also heavily implied that he may have also been emotionally abused in the past and threatened with being institutionalized. The character is not present for most of the book.
Bullying and emotional abuse: one character is intentionally hurtful to the narrator, playing upon the narrator's fears and insecurities. The narrator's husband stonewalls her sometimes and the narrator is impacted negatively.
Cultural appropriation: Characters dress up in appropriated attire at an event. One is in brown face.
Incest: a secondary character had a consensual relationship with a non-immediate family member in the past. Not described in detail.
Suicide: a character is theorized to have successfully ended their life and the method is generally described but does not give violent details.
Suicidal thoughts (very mild spoiler, no names): a character tries to convince another character to jump out a window from which they would not survive the fall. No attempt is made.
