Reach for this book when your teenager is grappling with the complexities of self-worth, the 'ugliness' of jealousy, or the realization that our perceptions of love can sometimes be selfish. This is a sophisticated retelling of the Cupid and Psyche myth from the perspective of Orual, a princess who feels overshadowed by her sister's divine beauty and betrayed by the gods. Through Orual's lifetime of bitterness and eventual self-discovery, the story explores how deep-seated insecurity can distort our relationships with those we love most. It is an ideal pick for older teens who enjoy philosophical fantasy and are ready to examine the difference between possessive affection and true, selfless love. Parents can use this to discuss how our inner narratives shape our reality and the courage it takes to look at one's own flaws without a mask.
