Major SPOILERS ABOUT THE BOOK

drug abuse is VERY minor. Trey threatens Ryen with rape. The sexual scenes between the lead characters is spicy but not dark romance spicy. The bullying is very minor but there is a scene where Ryen goes into the bathroom to find another character bleeding and in tears from being physically bullied by Trey. He also admits to getting high by inhaling chemicals.
