About This Book
A parent would reach for this book when their teenager is expressing anxiety about the social hierarchies of high school or the daunting transition to university life. It is an ideal choice for adolescents who feel caught between their loyalty to childhood friends and the desire to reinvent themselves in a new environment. Part of the iconic University Hospital series, the story follows a group of freshmen navigating the unwritten social codes and high stakes of a campus medical setting. It explores the tension between following the rules and following one's heart, making it a helpful tool for normalizing the messy, often confusing process of establishing independence. Parents should note that while the setting is academic and professional, the focus remains firmly on social dynamics and romantic complications. It is best suited for older teens who are ready to engage with themes of peer pressure and the consequences of social risks.
