This was a super enjoyable listen -- LaCour really hit a balance in their writing that I find hard to express, but absolutely love. I appreciated the detail that was given to Emi's role in production design -- I found it really interesting! Definitely also loved the slow-burn of Emi and Ava's relationship, as it was obvious both of them had stuff to work through, so I'm really glad half the book wasn't made up of misunderstandings/miscommunication.
Moderate: Homophobia, Outing, and Death of parent
Minor: Drug abuse, Drug use, Toxic relationship, and Gun violence

Spoiler
the toxic relationship in question is between the main character and her ex. This is not central to the story, and the main pairing is not toxic.Spoiler
