Book for a young teen about unhealthy relationship

My just 13 year old came across this book and asked me to get it for her. They talked about unhealthy relationships in school and she was intrigued but I do think the content of the book is not really age appropriate

Does anyone know a book for a younger audience covering this subject? Maybe from a teen point of view and without explicit scenes?

DD reads so different from what I read at her age, so I am a bit lost and without our decent Waterstone for help I don’t want to buy just anything.

I've seen the film of that, it's on Netflix.

The places I've cried in public by Holly Bourne. She used to be a relationships advisor on the young person's helpline The Mix. I've read her adult novels and they're excellent

I was going to recommend The Places I've Cried in Public. Both my Year 9 and Year 12 DDs have read it and rated it highly. Older DD said it resonated with what they'd been taught about unhealthy relationships in PHSE or whatever it is s called now.

Thanks I have a look.

Yes, DD browsed Netflix, found the movie and googled it. She will not see the movie either at the moment, it is a 15 and from what I read for good reasons.

Judy Blume's Forever? I haven't read it but heard it was good for teenagers.

I read Forever as a teen in the late Eighties and found it cringed as hell, I do understand the appeal behind the storyline but I think it is utterly dated by now.
