Continuing growth with the characters themselves and their relationships. Good look at how there is a lot of room between "supportive" and "unsupportive," while still managing to be mainly lighthearted, delightful, and sweet.

Moderate: Homophobia, Panic attacks/disorders, Hate crime, and Bullying

Minor: Addiction and Drug use

Subplot of the gay main character's homophobic and semi-homophobic family is front and center. All of the following occur in the background/backstory: a character used to struggle with a drug addiction; a character has an anxiety disorder that is being managed with therapy and medication; a gay character comes from a homophobic family and homophobic home town (and suffered homophobic bullying as a child); one or two characters are closeted due to their careers

This serious was great. The last book was the most emotional for me because some topics hit close to home. In a good way. I'm sad it's over and I want to recommend it to all my friends.

Moderate: Homophobia

It is implied that someone says a homophobic slur. A parent reacts negatively toward a coming out and continually calls someone's partner their "friend."
