About This Book
A parent would reach for this book when their teenager is navigating the invisible weights of anxiety, family dysfunction, or the paralyzing fear of being truly known. This bind-up edition contains two poignant stories that tackle the intersection of romance and mental health with a sophisticated, empathetic touch. In these pages, readers follow Cassie and Jade as they balance the dizzying rush of first love with the high-stakes reality of protecting their families or their own mental well-being. It is a vital choice for the teen who feels like they must hide parts of themselves to be lovable. Deb Caletti offers a realistic, non-judgmental look at complicated home lives and clinical anxiety. While the romantic elements are engaging, the heart of the book lies in self-discovery and the courage to set boundaries with those we love. Because of its length and mature themes surrounding stability and secrecy, it is best suited for readers aged 14 and up who are ready for a deep emotional dive into the complexities of the human heart.
