There were elements of this that I loved, particularly the beginning part but it should definitely come with trigger warnings.

Moderate: Emotional abuse

I expected a funny, lighthearted book about a woman coming out as a lesbian. A little bit of sex and a lot of fun. Instead I got the description of an emotional abusive relationship. Don't read it if it's a trigger for you. I guess the book isn't that bad but every description I read gave me a completely other expectation. On the cover they compare the book to fleabag. Well, it's not.

Audio book read.

ControllIng relationship and behaviours (some may find a hard read/listen).
