The book was very character driven and there wasn't an obvious plot but for me who's nosy into other people's lives, I didn't find it unenjoyable. I'll move onto watching the BBC series now :)
Moderate: Bullying, Domestic abuse, Emotional abuse, Mental illness, Sexual assault, and Sexual violence
Minor: Body shaming, Child abuse, Cursing, Misogyny, Panic attacks/disorders, Physical abuse, Self harm, Suicidal thoughts, Suicide, Toxic relationship, Blood, Grief, Abortion, Death of parent, Pregnancy, and Alcohol
It covers a lot of topics but not in too far detail that it's uncomfortable
