Reading the book, I picked up on war, fighting for your rights, and betrayal as some of the themes. I think the fight for rights, especially women's rights, is what I identified with the most.

Love, betrayal, and war were one of the many themes. But police brutality was most predominant amongst them.

I noticed four prominent themes; discrimination, racism, love, and betrayal. There are obviously more, but these four were the loudest out if all others.

I adore mostly romantic and relationship themes in novels. I like when daily lives of couples are portrayed in realistic ways in the book. Although, about the topic of police brutality. Even though in some countries police officers are seen as enemies and terrible people, I often relate more to police inadequacy in other countries. I mean, in certain parts of the world, and more predominantly in Romania, if there is a gypsy person throwing a tantrum on the train or not paying the fare, the police wouldn't do anything about it. Even more, they would deliberately ignore that incident. So, I think that police action is required, and much more necessary.

Police brutality is the main theme displayed in this book. There are other themes of love, betrayal, war, death, politics, discrimination and so many others. It did touch on a variety of sensitive and important topics.

I think it encompasses a lot of themes that are mostly political, for example, women's rights, racism and discrimination, war and children, the freedom of expression through riots, love, and betrayal.

The themes that interested me the most were police corruption, women's rights, and relationships. It was especially confusing to see some of Steve's friends avoiding him just because he joined the police force. I also didn't like Roxy's attitude toward Steve or toward their relationship.

The theme of Police brutality struck a chord in me because it's one of the themes that are happening in some countries. Where the youths are maimed because they are protesting for a change. The theme of corruption is also happening right under our noses in our society today. Other themes include war, love, injustice, pain and many more.

I noticed themes of the role of religion in policy-making, xenophobia, racism, police brutality, gender-based violence and the cycle of abuse that some women are trapped in, mental health, comradery in times of armed conflict, and war.
