What is a good age rating for the book? I am wondering if an 11 year old (who is mature for their age) would be able to read without it being too inappropriate.

Drew Ritter I would say 11-12 or higher.
Kate Well, there is some language here and there and very subtle references to sex, a little bit of underage drinking/smoking/drugs… but overall it’s pretty clean as far as ya goes. It’s kind of up to you, I’d say pg-13 but if you’re 11 and mature then that might be fine.
Andrea Bell 14-15
it covers slightly inappropriate themes as well as swearing... but tbh it isnt as bad as the TV series in which swearing is a common occurance.
it doesnt matter if you are 11 and mature, its still inappropriate
L It honestly depends on what you are used to reading. I'm at least 10 chapters in and only one or two bad words, mentions of kissing, boys looking at girls, girls wearing short shorts and small swimsuits, an adult dating someone way younger than them, smoking and underage drinking (permitted my parents) and smoking.
