Bookroo's summary

Alice adores hugs, but her best friend Zara isn't a fan. As they navigate their differences, Alice learns the importance of consent and respecting personal space. When roles reverse, Zara gains insight into Alice's perspective, realizing that a hug requires mutual agreement. Will their friendship withstand this challenge, or will their differing views on physical affection drive them apart? Discover how these two friends find common ground in a world where understanding boundaries is crucial.

From the publisher
