Minor spoilers ahead, as it relates to the “sexual assault” tag. The incident is described very briefly, with the aim of preparing any readers who wish to be informed before engaging with the book. A supporting male character attempts to kiss the main character against her will. Instead, the MC stomps on his foot with great force—potentially injuring the male character—and successfully escapes his advances.
