A main character's brother is in prison and they are trying to get him out. No explicit depictions of the emotional abuse but it is sprinkled throughout the latter half. Main character is stalked by ex boyfriend.

I really liked this book and how it tackles some heavy subject like abusive relationship and the overwhelming about of falsely accused minorities in the prison system. A really cute but also important story. I recommend it but be warned it deals with some heavy subjects and there isn’t any spice.

Honestly found it a bit dull, but there were enough cute/sweet elements that helped me finish.

Also saw they cast Lady Sybil as Tiffy in the TV adaptation and I just…don’t see that. AT. ALL.
