Graphic: Ableism and Animal death
Minor: Homophobia
There is a character with what presents as Down Syndrome, and there are several slurs aimed at him, and ableist rhetoric. It improves throughout the book.
The homophobia is largely internalized by the main character, and only brought to the fore in a few scenes, and then it's fairly lowkey.
