Based on 28 parent reviews

Parents say that while the book offers some positive messages about consent and personal safety in sexual relationships, it is heavily criticized for its explicit content and themes that may not be suitable for younger readers. Many reviewers stress that the graphic sexual scenes, strong language, and potentially disturbing elements such as violence and religious undertones make this work more appropriate for an adult audience rather than a young adult one.
