Ophiesay asked this question about Homegoing:

at what age is this book appropriate? My 13yo is a voracious reader who loves all genres.

The book contains sexual themes, rape, violence, and drug use.

My suggestion would be to read the book yourself first (it was amazing, you won't regret it) and then decide if you think it's appropriate and/or if you're ready to have some candid discussions with your child to help them understand the themes.

Just my opinion...
