A note for parents
Crossing the Line is a young adult romance featuring complex themes around domestic abuse, family trauma, and border-town danger. While the central love story drives the plot, the book addresses serious real-world issues including an abusive parent and the threats of crime in border regions. The content is generally appropriate for older teens but includes some language, mild sexual references, and depictions of family violence that warrant a mature teen audience.
