Content Warnings
Graphic: Adult/minor relationship, Child abuse, Gun violence, Pedophilia, Racism, Rape, Sexual assault, Police brutality, and Schizophrenia/Psychosis
Moderate: Alcoholism, Domestic abuse, Hate crime, Incest, Lesbophobia, and Sexual harassment
All the content warnings I added are definitely not comprehensive but reflect directly on why many characters experience all men disappearing as a relief! I don't like books that describe these things so graphically but it is for a reason.
