Moderate: Sexual harassment, Sexual violence, Racism, Racial slurs, and Toxic friendship

Racism is experienced by a supporting character and his son, and other characters use racial slurs to refer to them as well. There is also a description of a sexual assault attempt that happened to a main character in her past. Finally a

character is forcefully put into a mental institution against her will by other characters

. Otherwise period appropriate sexism and ableism appear.

emilymoll96's review against another edition

The smut was completely unnecessary. It ruined the book for me and now I’ll never know the ending.

Why why why do they have to add the smut? It’s so unnecessary to a storyline…
