A note for parents
This is a YA sapphic slow-burn romance centered on two young women navigating their feelings for each other. While the primary content is romantic and character-driven, the book addresses serious trauma including sexual assault, sexual harassment, death of a parent, panic disorders, and abandonment—making it more suitable for older teens who can process these themes. The romance itself is emotionally intense but not explicit.
