A note for parents
The Elite is a romantic dystopian novel aimed at young adults, featuring palace intrigue and a televised competition for a prince's hand. The content is generally mild; there is minimal violence and no strong language, though romantic tension and some brief scary moments occur. The book emphasizes themes of autonomy and self-determination, though character development is inconsistent and the love triangle may feel emotionally manipulative to some readers.
