About This Book
Reach for this book when your teenager is grappling with a major move, the loss of a parent, or the social whiplash of trying to fit into a brand-new environment. This modern retelling of Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility follows two sisters, Grace and Hallie, as they navigate the transition from a comfortable life to the high-stakes, image-conscious world of Beverly Hills after their father's death. It explores the bond between sisters who have very different ways of processing grief and ambition. While it touches on heavy themes like financial hardship and mourning, the tone remains accessible and engaging for teens. It is an excellent choice for opening a dialogue about maintaining one's integrity when your world is turned upside down.
