Context : Mason, the love interest, lost his four-year-old daughter after she had an allergic reaction to a new medication. She had a serious heart defect disorder and he mentions she had multiple surgeries before her death. He and his wife divorced afterwards. Furthermore, Rachel is fired from her job as a hotel's night manager after a client sexually assault her and falsely accuses her of verbal assaulting him. Mason's mother mentions she experienced racist microaggressions when she moved from Japan to America, and Mason recounts trying to distance himself from his cultural heritage growing up. Mason owns and runs a microbrewery, so alcohol consumption is a constant theme throughout the novel. Rachel smokes weed during one scene, and there is another scene of cigar smoking. There are also on-page custody disputes
