There is suggestions of anorexia, though that’s not technically considered an addiction I felt I should mention it here anyway just in case

The protagonist drinks a lot of wine during the shiva after she becomes stressed, but we don’t have any indication she does this normally.

There aren't fat jokes, but there are some "too skinny" jokes. There's also a LOT of weight loss/disordered eating/you should eat kind of content.

I wouldn’t say super large gap but one person in a consensual relationship is older and maintains more agency in it.

No but near the end an older lady drives off when it is said she has an expired license and shouldn’t. You hear the tires squeal briefly and hear a horn honking as if she is causing problems on the road.
