AB I would say no. Although the sex isn't graphic, it's explicit enough. Also the book deals with more adult themes than YA themes. It may be hard for a teen to relate. The main character is in her early 30s.

Castille YES! I absolutely would've read this (and probably enjoyed it much more) in my teens. I'd say it's a PG-13.

Katie Yes! I don't know what any of these people are talking about. Although the characters are older there is nothing immature about this book. It's like watching a show where the main character is 30 it doesn't change the show just because she's older. I would definitely recommend it to 13+

Jennifer Maloney I would say so, yes. There’s nothing explicit in it. The characters do have sex, but it’d just implied, not described.

Rachelle Puzzitiello Given that I’ve read YA books with FAR more graphic scenes than the implied scenes in this book I’d say yes it’s appropriate. It’s a solid PG-13 rating.

Rumaisa I believe this book would cater more to older teens such as 17 or 18 year olds

Laura Lineberger I think it's fine for older teens (17 and up...maybe a mature 16). It's definitely not YA, though, and it has sex and some mature elements. I might have read it as a teen, but I wouldn't personally recommend it for teens, especially under 16.

Laura Cohen ABSOLUTELY NOT TEEN APPROPRIATE

stella I would say so! I read it at 14 and I was perfectly fine. I think it just depends on the maturity of the reader though.

Katrina It really depends on the teen. Would I give it to a 13 year old? Probably not. 16 and up, maybe. It's something I would have read in high school if it had been available. There are certainly YA reads with more implicit scenes in it. With all books, you have to know your teen.

Lisa I have 3 teens and I'd say no.

Oskari Kettunen Yes absolutely! I would draw the line somewhere around the starting of highschool (That's like 14yo or something, I'm not American?)

flag

Catarina Monteiro YES for me. It's very funny, so uncomplicated and complicated at the same time, so easy to read :) I loved It!

Romina Yo diría que si, el sexo no es muy explícito

Inese Steinbahs Yes! I actually think that teen is the target audience for this book. As one grows older, the taste of the books probably get more refined and this book is just another book that follows a very predictable pattern.
