About This Book
Reach for this book if your tween is navigating the sting of a first breakup or feels like they need to change who they are to be loved. While the plot follows Rhi as she pursues a music career to win back her ex, Max, the story is truly a deep dive into the importance of self-respect and authenticity. It helps young readers distinguish between external validation and internal happiness. Appropriate for the 11 to 14 age group, the story balances the glitz of the music industry with the grounded reality of middle school social dynamics. It provides a healthy roadmap for moving on from a relationship that no longer fits, emphasizing that finding your own voice is much more important than being part of a perfect couple. It is an excellent choice for kids experiencing the pressure to perform for peers or social media.
