Reach for this book when your teen feels like they were born in the wrong century or is struggling to find where they fit in today's fast-paced world. Audrey is a discouraged high schooler who feels she is failing at art and life, but a magical slip through time lands her in the Regency era. What follows is a thoughtful exploration of identity, expectations, and the realization that the grass is not always greener in the past. While it features a sweet queer romance, its deeper value lies in showing teens that they have the power to define their own happiness regardless of their surroundings. This is an appropriate, hopeful choice for older teens navigating self-discovery and the pressure of future plans.
