This was an AMAZING book.  It teaches you so much.  You learn how to set boundaries and to stick to them, how to express yourself in a healthy way.  And the list goes on.  I think this is also a good book for people who loved Fourth Wing and Zodiac Academy.  Strong and resilient FMC, dragon daddy MMC, and amazing children with so many different personalities and abilities.  

It talks about setting boundaries for the kids and to let them come to terms with talking through their feelings and frustrations.

I’ve never read a book that has allowed such acceptance and expression of feelings for children for young adults for adults being taught by adults written for adults.

It’s about a woman who was tricked into leaving the earth plane to another dimension (fantasy very ZA) to be a counselor for children after a tragic death at the school.  Everyone hates her and belittles her but she stands resilient against them and starts dishing it back (very Tory) (ALSO NOT SPOILERS FOR ZA BECAUSE THIS IS TALKED ABOUT IN BLURBS) she puts the kids first and finds ways to help them. Help them cope help them find ways to exist in a world that nothing but cruel.  Shows them the love and compassion they were never offered in life by their peers by their parents.  It’s an emotional ride and is a Romantasy but I think you’ll love it.
