A parent would reach for this book when their teenager feels suffocated by external expectations or is struggling to reconcile their true identity with the persona they present to the world. It is an ideal choice for teens who feel like 'misfits' and are searching for a sense of belonging outside of traditional or family-set structures. The story follows Kit Davenport, a nobleman who flees an arranged marriage and a stifling life in the House of Lords, only to find himself aboard a pirate ship. Through his adventures with Captain Reggie Sharpe, Kit explores themes of self-actualization, queer romance, and the courage required to choose one's own path. This historical romance is lighthearted and adventurous but grounded in the very real emotional weight of coming out to oneself and finding a chosen family. It is most appropriate for high schoolers due to the romantic themes and swashbuckling action.
