A parent might reach for this book when their teenager is struggling to reconcile their personal identity with the expectations of a religious or conservative community. The story follows Esme, a talented hip-hop artist in a Minnesota Christian high school, as she navigates a burgeoning romance with her female rap partner and friend, Rowie. Through the lens of creative expression and lyricism, the book explores themes of self-confidence, loyalty, and the courage required to be authentic in a traditional setting. It is a sophisticated, realistic portrayal of queer first love and the complexities of finding one's voice. Parents will appreciate the nuanced look at how art can serve as a bridge between a young person's internal truth and their external reality. While the language and themes are geared toward older teens, the message of integrity is universal.
