Regarding the sexual assault tag, I am referring to a brief passage wherein one of the characters has just been married and describes her husband as “assaulting” her daily on their “honeymoon.” The advances are very clearly unwelcome and described explicitly as “assault.” While there are very few details given, I wanted to warn readers for whom even a brief description might be upsetting.
