A parent would reach for this book when their teenager is navigating the complex process of healing from past trauma or struggling to reconcile their difficult family history with their future identity. It is an ideal pick for older teens who enjoy high stakes puzzles and survival stories that also explore deep emotional resilience. The story follows Nora, a girl raised by a con artist mother, as she attempts a normal backpacking trip that quickly turns into a life or death game of wits against her dangerous stepfather. Beyond the pulse pounding thriller plot, the book delves into the importance of chosen family, the courage required to be vulnerable, and the strength found in loyalty. While the tension is high and the threat of violence is real, the focus remains on the protagonist's agency and her ability to protect those she loves through intelligence and preparation.
