The Brokenhearted

A kidnapping with a threat of death if Anthem doesn't pay up. She sees her boyfriend shot in front of her and mourns it heavily. Later, another friend is shot in front of her and bleeds heavily. Anthem wakes up after her heart stops with a heart transplant. She uses superhuman strength to fight crime, beating up and tying up most of her targets for police and reluctantly killing two villains. She trains to fight and shoot a gun with her friend Ford. There are some threats of sexual violence from Anthem's ex-boyfriend -- they exchange some blows. Anthem's sister drowned in a lake before Anthem was born, and her parents mourn the loss through silence and drug and alcohol use. Ford's parents were drug addicts who died when he was young. He describes his days cage fighting while working for a crime ring, beating up other teens and throwing fights when asked.

Anthem has sex with Gavin, barely described. Some talk of the sex trade with barely dressed dancing girls seen through a window.

Not constant, but a few handfuls of words including forms of "bitch," "ass," and "s--t," along with "Bedlam's balls," "hell," "prick," "Holy Christ," and "damn."

Bedlam's mom is addicted to prescription meds, and the dad drinks often. Drinking and drug use at underground parties -- the names of drugs are made up. "Study drug" prescription drug abuse at school is rampant -- one student is arrested and another is sent to rehab. Anthem says she never smokes, but she does drink a couple of times. Her friends Zahra and Ford smoke and drink.
