- cheating – not by or between MMC and / or FMC
- deceased parents – briefly mentioned by both MMC and FMC
- graphic violence – one instance recounted in a flashback by MMC; stabbing
- graphic sex – throughout the book
- mature language – profanity used throughout the book
- alcoholism / addiction – briefly mentioned by MMC about a minor character who does not appear in the book
- past trauma flashback – by MMC: ex-wife’s public infidelity; stabbing
- workplace harassment – done by MMC to FMC
- stalking – done by very minor character who does not appear on page to a minor character, neither done by or to MMC or FMC
