Content Warnings

Moderate: Mental illness, Abandonment, and Homophobia

Minor: Eating disorder

Love interest has an eating disorder. It’s not talked about a lot, but it’s there and it’s addressed. Love interest’s parents are superficially supporting of his homosexuality, but their microaggressions are many and intense, even though they’re only around for one scene. The main character really struggles with mental health, mainly in the form of depression and difficulty trusting others, and his lack of self worth.
