Ali Novak knows her audience. If your teen is into Jenny Han or Kasie West, this is a guaranteed hit. It's not high literature, but it's a solid, emotionally resonant read that deals with family trauma without becoming a total downer.
It's the kind of book that’s perfect for a long flight or a weekend away. It's safe, sweet, and avoids the 'spice' that parents often worry about in modern YA while still feeling relevant to a 2026 teenager.
