<3 by Sara Jean Accuardi explores the differences in expectations of how men and women grow up. The story follows a couple, Alice and David, in their twenties navigating their unplanned parenthood, and Ellie, a teenage girl learning to find the balance between confidence and boundaries from her new, wild friend, Tracy. These storylines intersect to show how gender identity, the anonymity of the internet, and our desires for connection can pull us into the most destructive places.
