Writing: clear and concise
Profundity: so so so much useful information. I probably need to read this again, but overall the message is to listen to your hind brain, quit worrying about unlikely risks, and here are some super useful tips for stalkers. Oh, and we need to protect our children better.

Would like even more example stories. A good book, especially for women.
Graphic: Body horror, Death, Domestic abuse, Gun violence, Hate crime, Misogyny, Pedophilia, Physical abuse, Rape, Sexism, Sexual assault, Sexual violence, Torture, Violence, Blood, Police brutality, Trafficking, Kidnapping, Mass/school shootings, Stalking, Murder, Gaslighting, and Sexual harassment
It's literally a book about perceiving signs of imminent danger/violence. It discusses many heavy themes.
