A parent would reach for this book when their teenager is struggling to find their place in a new community or is increasingly retreating into digital spaces and creative writing to cope with social isolation. It addresses the high stakes of adolescent friendship and the way young people sometimes use fiction to process real world trauma or complicated emotions. While the plot centers on a murder mystery, the heart of the story explores how teenagers navigate the confusing line between who they are and the stories they tell about themselves. It is a sophisticated thriller best suited for mature readers ages 14 and up due to its exploration of consent, alcohol use, and the psychological impact of past mistakes. This is an excellent choice for a teen who feels like an outsider or who enjoys analyzing the ethics of storytelling and social dynamics.
