Reach for this book if your teenager is struggling with the intersection of self-worth and romantic relationships, or if they have experienced abandonment from a parent. This story follows V Valentine, a girl who uses casual hookups to mask a deep-seated fear of intimacy and the pain of her mother's absence. As she embarks on a road trip to find her mother, she must grapple with what it means to actually let someone in. It is a raw, honest look at the defensive walls teenagers build to protect themselves. Given the candid depictions of physical intimacy and emotional volatility, this book is best suited for older teens (14 and up) who are ready to discuss how our past family dynamics shape our current relationships and choices. It offers a path toward self-forgiveness and authentic connection.
