Minor: Cancer and Death of parent
Samir’s father died when he was little and his mother battled cancer but survived. Both of these situations are mentioned a few times, but nothing too graphic. In the content warnings summary it says ‘animal death’, but no animal actually dies on the page. There is a possum who pretends to die multiple times, but does not die for real.victoria29's review

This book was great! I didn't love and adore it with the same intensity as the first two books in the collection, but it was still a fun read. I especially love the TROPES. I think Pinky and Samir just aren't as compelling to me as Dimple/Rishi or Ashish/Sweetie, which makes sense because I don't think they're meant to be as likeable as those other characters. Also, even though it totally made me cry for a third time in a row, I'm a bit tired of the female protagonist having a strained relationship with her mother being a major plot point.
Moderate: Cancer
Minor: Death of parent, Toxic relationship, and Animal death
