there's a scene in the book where the main protag listens in on a couple having sex then masturbates to it this isn't exactly a tw warning for anything specific but the main protag was... weirdly possessive of a child in the story and not in a 'I see you as my kid and want to protect you way'

i can always count on nina lacour for sad gay girlies representation!!!! love how it talked about how affirming it is to have a found family, but also how dangerous it is to have to rely on other people for certain things. in the end, our personal growth is mostly really up to ourselves. the writing was so beautiful, and the narrator read it all so beautifully.

This is a book that I read. I can tell you that much. I think I would have enjoyed it a lot more if I had read it as a teen though!
