Overall, it's a great fiction romance story surrounding queer characters.
Moderate: Colonisation, Homophobia, Death of parent, and Sexual assault
Minor: Gaslighting, Stalking, Panic attacks/disorders, Addiction, and Racism
The trigger warnings are mostly minor, if labelled as moderate it's because they come up a number of times. But nothing is described in any great detail. Even homophobia which is the most like significant is only in a certain high level sense and direct to a main character from other characters that do have a mild redemption. Overall it's an ensemble of characters who deeply care and respect each other. Also given the position of the main characters (politically, which I believe is in the book blurb) the discussion of homophobia and some of the other factors makes a lot of sense. This isn't meant to be a fictional universe like Schitts Creek (TV show reference) where the world has no misogyny or homophobia. It's meant to be a universe that has those things but paints a picture of progress.thatbookbitch's review against another edition

This was so cute and so much fun. I love Alex and Henry and I loved seeing their relationship develop. I love how Henry got more and more comfortable being himself around others and coming out of his shell. I loved reading this in Alex’s POV. I felt all the highs and lows of this book and I’m excited to see the movie!
