A parent would reach for this book when their teenager is preparing for a major life transition, like heading to college, or is navigating the vulnerability of a first serious crush. It is an ideal choice for a teen who feels like an outsider or struggles with social anxiety and needs to see that authenticity is the key to connection. The story follows two very different girls, one confident but guarded and the other shy and awkward, who form an unlikely alliance during their freshman year of university. It explores themes of self-discovery, the courage to be seen, and the importance of finding friends who support your true self. While it is a sweet romance, the emotional core focuses on breaking out of old patterns and learning that you do not have to change who you are to find love. It is a modern, inclusive, and heartening read for the 14 to 18 age range.
