Minor: Deadnaming and Toxic relationship
The above content warnings are in the context of a murder case that leads to a series of events that affect multiple characters. The book also focuses on the experiences of two trans characters both past and present in relation to their families, friends, etc. Most of it is not written in a derogoratory way per se, but it is written out and described clearly at names which can potentially make it uncomfortable. It doesn’t affect the content of the book overall, but it’s something to be mindful of!kittyonfire's review against another edition

Moderate: Death and Violence
Minor: Racism and Police brutality
Transphobia, deadnaming, and misgendering surrounding the main characters is a major part of the novel. The author handles this tactfully, and the portrayals of people who “just don’t get it” are realistic. That said, if you are not in the headspace to navigate that, that’s okay.
