A note for parents
This coming-of-age story follows two sisters and their longtime friend as they navigate love, loss, and growing up during a transformative summer. While the core themes—friendship, family bonds, and confronting life's complexities—are emotionally mature and handled with care, the book includes mild language, references to sexual interest and activity, and a serious illness that drives the plot. It's best suited for mid-to-older teens who can handle nuanced emotional content without graphic depictions.
