BUYING ADVISORY: MS, HS - ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
CeCe (16yo) lives her life online, curating her posts and her life to be what her followers expect. Then an unexpected change threatens the world she’s built for herself and CeCe meets someone totally offline. With a new perspective for her own life, CeCe has to decide if the life she’s built is really the one that she wants.
From the opening page, CeCe’s character flaw is perfectly clear to readers: she cares too much about what other people think. Maybe it’s so easy to spot because we all suffer from bouts of self-consciousness. Verdi invites readers on a powerful journey of letting go of the stress we put upon ourselves by caring about others’ opinions on everything we do. Like CeCe learns to do, we can choose to be ourselves and be happier for being authentic.
CeCe is described as pale, Josh is white, and Silvie is Mexican. The mature content rating is for alcohol use and making out; the violence rating is for brief mention of domestic violence.
