Content Warnings

Graphic: Mental illness, Panic attacks/disorders, Self harm, Suicidal thoughts, Medical content, and Death of parent

Moderate: Cursing and Toxic friendship

Aza has severe mental illness, it’s not identified but it could contain indicators of OCD & severe hypochondria and germaphobia. I don’t say this to diagnose the character but as a warning to anyone who may identify with those disorders that this content may be disturbing. Lots of medical content, therapy, etc… and mentions of death of parents, in mild detail throughout the entirety of the novel. There’s moderate cursing and a pretty toxic friendship, which was brushed under the rug to make amends.
