Content warning explanation under the cut.Lucy is emotionally abused by her father and neglected.
This book mostly takes place in the regency era and therefore women are considered property. Misogyny ensues.
The father and the man Lucy is being sold to are bullies.
Audrey is in a minor car accident where her bike hits a car door.
Lucy's mother passed away when she was younger and there is some discussion of her grief over the death of her parent, though it did happen in the past so the actual death of the parent is not experienced in the read.
There is classism among who can hang out with or marry who in regency era England.
Lucy is strictly monitored over where she can go by her father and is mostly confined to their property. There is a scene at the end where Audrey is tied to a chair and locked in a room.
Audrey lets some "shit"s, "fuck"s, and "damn"s fly.
Audrey is attacked by hired men at one point, and there is the aforementioned bike/car accident as far as violence goes.
Lucy is promised to a much older man. While nothing happens between them, there is much discussion of their relationship and it's not from a lack of trying on his end.
Some minor alcohol consumption occurs in the book.
There isn't any explicit homophobia but the fact it exists and makes their relationship dangerous/impossible is discussed.
