This was a surprisingly deep book, as the fmc is dealing with the trauma and after effects of an abusive relationship while also trying to start a new romance. From my non-survivor perspective, I thought it treated the issues well, and with accuracy. All the trigger warnings though, we really are in her head as she is trying to cope.

Graphic: Cursing, Sexual content, Domestic abuse, Emotional abuse, and Toxic relationship
Moderate: Gaslighting, Stalking, Sexual assault, Injury/Injury detail, Misogyny, and Physical abuse
Minor: Racism, Alcohol, Racial slurs, and Vomit
The sexual assault tag is for a beginning attempt that is unsuccessful. It is implied that there was assault in the past but we don't get any details.
