Sidney and Isola's budding friendship and Juliet and Kit's relationshipModerate: Grief and War
Minor: Violence, Death, and Slavery
Usual WW2 homefront fiction warnings apply, but not very graphic. Many of the characters talk about their harrowing experiences during the occupation, including being sent to concentration camps. It's a postwar setting in a formerly occupied territory, so the grief and weight of those experiences is pretty steeped in the setting despite the overall lightness and charm of the book.tidywendypop's review against another edition
