Content Warnings

Moderate: Ableism, Medical content, and Body shaming

Minor: Gun violence, Blood, Misogyny, Toxic relationship, Mental illness, and Chronic illness

Specifics on ableism and the medical content detail:

a character is described as having something very like a Grand Mal seizure; another character may have chronic illness, depression, and anxiety but is depicted and dismissed repeatedly as a person who is faking for attention.
