Moderate: Suicide, Vomit, Mental illness, Racial slurs, Rape, Schizophrenia/Psychosis , and Sexual content

Also includes graphic depictions of victim blaming, and frames a relationship with a smaller yet still notable age gap as misunderstood. There is also a scene where the main character narrates that she forgives somebody who attempted to sexually assault her.
