A note for parents
This is a short, literary story centered on grief, family dynamics, and loss—mature emotional themes handled with restraint typical of Rooney's work. The story contains references to death, addiction, and drug use, along with occasional profanity, making it best suited for older teens who can process complex, somber narratives. The emotional weight and dark tone outweigh graphic content, but the subject matter requires maturity to engage meaningfully.
