A parent would reach for this book when their teenage daughter is beginning to question her sexual orientation or gender identity and needs to see a broad spectrum of queer experiences reflected in literature. This short story collection explores the raw and often messy emotions of young women navigating first crushes, coming out, and the search for authentic selfhood. While it celebrates the beauty of new love, it also tackles difficult realities such as social isolation and family tension. It is a powerful choice for families looking to validate a teen's feelings of being different, offering a realistic look at the hurdles and triumphs of the LGBTQ+ journey in a way that feels honest rather than idealized. The stories are best suited for mature teens who are ready to engage with complex interpersonal themes.
