There’s multiple scenes of suicides or attempts, two I am kindof spoiling because they are graphic/disturbing: first involves an overweight girl and it’s VERY body shaming/fat phobic. The second graphic one involves a gender non-conforming/transgender teen (they never confirm the character’s gender but it’s stated that they’re AMAB) but anyway they kill themself in front of their transphobic father and it’s beyond disturbing. I cannot stress enough, if suicide is a big trigger for you do NOT read this.lydiavsbooks's review against another edition

That said, I have to acknowledge the problematic elements, mainly King's n-word count of 9 in this book alone. Its obvious enough that the mass murder is not a nice guy, without needing to include slurs, it's just unnecessary and uncomfortable.
Also please never write the word 'amazeballs' in a paragraph of prose ever again.
