A parent would reach for this book when their daughter is navigating the overwhelming transition to high school while simultaneously experiencing the dizzying, often distracting intensity of a first real crush. C.C. is a relatable ninth grader at an all-girls Catholic school who feels like an outsider, finding solace in her obsession with an aspiring rock star named Curtis Piperfield. The story explores themes of self-identity, the performative nature of teenage social circles, and the way we often romanticize people before truly knowing them. While the setting is a religious school, the emotional core is a secular and humorous look at the awkwardness of growing up. It is a gentle, funny, and safe choice for young teens who are beginning to show interest in romance but still need a story rooted in the reality of school life and friendships.
