A parent would reach for this book when their teenager is struggling with overbearing behavior or the realization that their 'help' might actually be hurting someone they care about.

It is a powerful story about the difference between loving someone and trying to control them. Parents might choose this to open a conversation about social cues, the weight of expectations, and how to handle rejection or embarrassment.
