A note for parents
This is a young adult romance second in a TikTok-popular series centered on a traumatized female protagonist and an emotionally fragile male lead. The book deals explicitly with physical abuse, trauma recovery, and secrets, with an intense emotional tone that swings between dark and hopeful. While the romance is central and appears to include sexual content, the heavy trauma elements and domestic violence backdrop suggest this is more appropriate for older teens who can process these mature themes.
