A note for parents
The Belles is a YA dystopian fantasy with complex themes of beauty, power, and identity set in a richly imagined world. The book addresses serious topics including sexual assault, manipulation, and systemic oppression, making it better suited for older teens who can process these mature themes critically. While it offers strong messages about resistance and self-determination, the darker content and intensity warrant a 14+ audience.
