A parent would reach for this book when their teenager is starting to navigate adult spaces or is struggling to identify the difference between support and manipulation. This gripping mystery explores the grooming of a young aspiring singer, Enchanted Jones, by a legendary R&B star. It is a powerful tool for discussing the nuances of consent, the impact of systemic bias on Black girls, and the bravery required to speak one's truth against a powerful figure. While the subject matter is intense and deals with sexual abuse and control, it is essential reading for mature teens. It provides a mirror for those who feel silenced and a window for others to understand the complexities of power dynamics in the entertainment industry and beyond.
