[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So my 7th grader, who has struggled in reading, how started reading romance novels. No problem, right?! Except there’s now a book (and it isn’t the first one, being traded around school-think it’s gone viral on tiktok) and it has very sexually graphic scenes in it. It’s otherwise just a regular love story as far as I can tell. I remember passing around contraband too (anyone remember Wifey lol) but I was an older teen. Mine is 13.

Would you let it go? Btdt? How to handle?

Name the book/author. [/quote]

I want to know what the book is too! A lot of modern, explicit romance novels show great portrayals of healthy sexuality including consent, safe sex practices, diverse representation, etc. When I was subbing I saw kids reading a Jasmine Guillory novel and I thought it was great. But there are others that are popular right now that are extremely problematic, like Haunting Adeline.

OP is the book a hockey romance, by chance? I wouldn't worry about it if it was. If it was something that is so bad the author needed to add a million trigger warnings in the introduction, I'd have one of those awkward awful sex conversations. I would absolutely not tell her what to read though, not at this age. It'll backfire terribly. [/quote]
