I think this book is also suitable for mature teens. They're a lot of issues which are prevalent in the society today that they can learn from.Eugenia36Nicholas wrote: ↑18 Sep 2020, 07:08 Now every one of any age is exposed to so much, and by the end of the story, the characters grow and change in spite of--or maybe due to--grim circumstances. Do you think mature teens can handle the issues raised in the book, or should it be for adults only?

Teens are half adults in my perception. Especially in today's age of youth activism (for example, emergence of young activists like Greta Thurnberg), today's teens are becoming more and more aware of the things around them. Teens from conservative families might face trouble while relating to the content of book, but all in all, I think it'll make for a good read to any teen.Eugenia36Nicholas wrote: ↑18 Sep 2020, 07:08 Now every one of any age is exposed to so much, and by the end of the story, the characters grow and change in spite of--or maybe due to--grim circumstances.

While I'm biased because I believe I'm a mature teen, this book is generally quite suitable. While touching on sensitive topics such as racism, homophobia, attempted rape and abuse, I think it handles these issues in a tasteful manner and opens readers eyes to the seriousness of these global issues. There are no explicit scenes and profanity is barely present, so I really see no problem with letting mature teens read this book.Eugenia36Nicholas wrote: ↑18 Sep 2020, 07:08 Now every one of any age is exposed to so much, and by the end of the story, the characters grow and change in spite of--or maybe due to--grim circumstances.
