No sexual assault but lots of uncomfortable sexual content as the main character explores her sexual feelings. [SPOILERS!] The girl's love interest is an adult man, probably in his early 20s, so it could be construed as statutory rape. There is a pelvic exam in a doctor's office that is unpleasant. One kiss that isn't entirely consensual. A character has sex for the first time with consent yet it is shown to be painful and confusing.
