Out of the Blue is cute, and I love that one of the main characters is nonbinary and uses they/them pronouns. But I don't think it successfully pulled off the subversive ending that it was going for, sadly, and I think the reason why pervades the whole book: it gets distracted by being preachy.
Moderate: Cursing, Infidelity, Mental illness, Sexual content, Toxic relationship, and Car accident
Minor: Body shaming, Fatphobia, Transphobia, and Alcohol
-Explicit description of drowning
-The transphobia is specifically some very brief misgendering
