Mentions of sexual abuse, rape, assault, child abuse, kidnapping, and addiction to opioids. The premise is that an influential 28-year-old celebrity grooms the protagonist, who is 17 at the start of the narrative, into a relationship with him. He kidnaps her, repeatedly sexually violates her, and abuses her verbally, emotionally, physically, and financially. We later learn that his victimization of teen girls is a pattern of behavior. Early on in the book, the protagonist is almost raped by a classmate. The abuser character confesses that he "lost his virginity" with an adult woman when he was 14. The author reveals in the author's note that her first relationship was with a 22-year-old man when she was only 15. The book has many parallels to the R. Kelly case, although the author states that the book is not about him, but the many men like him and the systems that facilitated his abuse.
