Minor: Ableism and Sexual assault
- An author at a book party says some very fetishizing things about people in Thailand, how everyone looks alike, and how he wanted to have sex with everyone. That was gross.
- Elio has a thought about Oliver in a wheelchair, and how Elio would feel superior to Oliver if that were true. That was also gross.
- a peach is compared to a rape victim. Did not like that image, as a survivor myself. It was a one-sentence comparison and the subject was never touched on again in the book.
