About This Book
Reach for this book when your teenager is processing a profound loss or struggling with the weight of unspoken grief and mental health challenges. Adam Silvera offers a raw, unfiltered look at how a young person navigates the death of a first love while also managing the complexities of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. It is an essential choice for mature teens who need to see their own intense emotions mirrored and validated in literature. The story explores the intersection of love, history, and the messy reality of moving forward when the person you imagined your future with is gone. While the emotional weight is heavy, the book provides a vital space for discussing mental health, LGBTQ+ identity, and the various ways people express and experience sorrow. Parents should be aware that it deals with realistic adolescent choices and deep psychological distress, making it best suited for older high schoolers.
