A note for parents
This YA romcom by a bestselling adult author offers a timely story about body confidence, reclaiming joy after bullying, and self-acceptance through dance. The contemporary romance plot is age-appropriate but includes some sexual tension and mild language consistent with Guillory's adult voice. Themes of bullying trauma and body image insecurity are handled thoughtfully and could resonate with older teens navigating similar experiences.
