Trigger Warning
This book deals with the following subjects:
• Emotional abuse and gaslighting
• Female-on-female sexual assault
• Mild inappropriate touching of a minor
• Past violent death of a family member, which was believed to be suicide at the time
• Stalking and harassment
• Homophobia in one heroine’s mother
• Mental health struggles
• Gun violence
• Secondary character’s struggles with past domestic abuse and miscarriage
• Brief mention of another secondary character’s past sexual assault and the resulting abortion
• IUI procedure (glossed over) and pregnancy
• Harry Potter references
• Sexually explicit content
• Profanity
If you feel that these would be difficult subjects for you to read about, please tread with caution and stop if it gets too painful for you.
If you are a woman and have been a victim of domestic/dating violence or sexual assault at the hands of another woman, please know that it is not your fault and you are NOT alone. There are resources and help available for you. I am including links to the National Domestic Violence Hotline and the Rape, Abuse, and Incest National Network, and will also include links to their pages specifically for LGBTQ+ survivors.
