About This Book
Reach for this book when your teenager is navigating the complex emotions of a first breakup or feeling the heavy weight of living up to a family legacy. This contemporary novel explores the blurred lines between friendship and romance during a shared family vacation in Malibu. It addresses the pressure of high-performance expectations, particularly for young athletes, and the difficulty of maintaining a public-facing identity while trying to be true to oneself. It is highly appropriate for mid-to-late teens who are learning how to set boundaries and redefine their relationships as they transition into adulthood. You might choose it to help your child process the idea that 'moving on' isn't always linear and that it is okay to change your mind about your future goals.
