Sidetracked contains NO sexual violence

As the author, I acknowledge that characters in Sidetracked display harmful and problematic behaviors. However, Sidetracked is a work of fiction, and is in no way meant to condone, promote, or glorify such problematic and toxic behaviors. These characters are heavily flawed and were not written to be viewed as role models.
