Description

The main character goes to a party and a boy makes an unwanted advance on her. She leaves before it is too late. A teen girl is said to have had sex with two grown men in the past, one being her teacher. A character is found out to have been selling date rape drugs. One of her regular clients, who is a side character in the book, is revealed to have raped several women in the past, including the dealer’s sister. Worthy of note: near the end, the main character, who’s 17-18, is slipped a date rape drug. However, the reason wasn’t for sexual assault, but for a character to be able to escape with the main character stopping her, SPOILER: There is a sexual relationship between a teacher and one of his students. This can be considered very upsetting because the teacher is a trusted character in the book.
