Worthy of note: at the beginning of the book, the male lead is coming to terms with the fact that he is demisexual. That knowledge comes with the realization that most of the sex that he had when he was younger was not sex he wanted to have, but that his partners expected of him. This is not framed as rape, but as a pattern he wants to avoid in the future. It still might be frustrating or upsetting for those readers who identify as asexual, demisexual, or aromantic. The female lead deals with the ramifications of gaslighting, emotional abuse, and verbal abuse from both her mother and her ex-husband. She does try to get the male lead to have sex with her early in the book when she is very drunk, but this is before she knows that he is demisexual. She later apologizes.
