About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when their teenager is struggling with severe social isolation, body image issues, or the heavy weight of a family tragedy. It is a raw and unflinching look at Angie, a girl who is being bullied for her weight and her past mental health struggles while her mother remains emotionally distant. The arrival of a new friend, KC Romance, sparks a complicated and beautiful connection that challenges Angie to see herself as more than her labels. Parents should note that the story deals with dark themes including a suicide attempt and grief, making it most suitable for older teens (14+) who are ready for a realistic, gritty exploration of identity and resilience. It is an honest choice for normalizing the difficult path toward self-acceptance.
