PG-13
The novel contains moderate language and explores emotionally intense themes such as poverty, homelessness, systemic political failure, climate injustice, and governmental neglect. Thematic references to sexual orientation, LGBTQ+ discrimination, reproductive healthcare inequities, and suicide are included, but no graphic or behavioral sexual content is present. The language includes occasional moderate swearing, and there is a strong socio-political critique that may be intense for younger readers.
