Reach for this book when your teen is grappling with the weight of family secrets, the intensity of first love, or the feeling of being caught between their parents' past and their own future. This modern retelling of Wuthering Heights follows two generations: Catherine, who falls for a troubled underground musician in the 1980s, and her daughter, who searches for the truth about her mother years later. It explores the cycle of obsession and the impact of parental choices on children. Parents should know that while it deals with heavy emotional themes like grief and abandonment, it provides a sophisticated look at the complexities of human relationships and the power of forgiveness. It is a perfect choice for older teens who appreciate lyrical writing and are ready to discuss how our family history shapes our identity.
