A character’s history of being assaulted as a child is discussed in passing. A character describes observing trying to kidnap a young girl to “keep” her. Towards the end of the book, a man kisses one of the main characters. The main character is not expecting this. The main character tries to push him away, only for the other man to hold tighter. The main character says the man’s name, and the latter lets go. The man is verbally apologetic but what he says also could be interpreted as gaslighting. It is somewhat ambiguous, and the main character feels conflicted and confused after the fact.
