Content Warnings
Moderate: Alcoholism, Mental illness, Panic attacks/disorders, Sexual content, Grief, Fire/Fire injury, Alcohol
Minor: Death, Emotional abuse, Fatphobia, Sexism
So, I had a few issues, and they're all spoilery content warnings, so: one character has internalized fatphobia, alcoholism of a secondary character is barely addressed, one main character exhibits stalkerish obsession, one main character overly sexualizes a women who is just doing her job and also indulges sexist sexual fantasies about her, the "first time" virginity trope is used, anxiety attacks feel more like a plot device than a thoughtful character development, BUT there is some character growth to partially address some of these issues and there's some positive therapy rep (or at least the declared intention)
