Not exactly. There is a gender non-conforming character who is a jerk and a heartbreaker, and people react to her as such.

It has an intense cliffhanger ending, and it’s not exactly sad but it’s not pretty. The sequel does a great job of wrapping things up.

No slurs but there is homophobia. “girls don’t sleep with girls and boy’s don’t sleep with boys” comments, discussion of compulsory heterosexual marriage, illegality in certain places, people don’t usually seem to think it’s all that bad but will still use it as a threat due to it being illegal. There are a few people who are disgusted.

There is a main character who plays a lot with gender and people don’t always know how to interact with that. It’s not usually malice, more confusion or lack of interest.

Abortion is illegal in certain places and while there is risk, the people still make options available to each other where they can. The book itself seems to be neutral on the subject, focused only on the realities of living in these fictional societies.
