While The Dream (The Ballad of Emery Brooks, #3) is a clean and Christian romance for young adult readers and does not contain any language or spice (sexual content), the book features tough topics that may be triggering to read. Below are spoiler-free and spoiler versions of content warnings for this book so that you can make an informed decision on whether you or your teen should read this book:

Book Cave Rating:

I consider The Dream as Mild+ according to the Book Cave rating system, for the following reason:

• The main character plays music at a bar for a gig (Neither the main character nor the person who accompanies her there drink and drinking is shown in a negative light).

Spoiler-Free Content Warnings:

The Dream contains tough topics tackled from a Christian perspective, including the following:

• Death and grief (Not as heavily featured as books one and two, but an elderly side character passes away)
• Dealing with a toxic work environment (The toxic work environment is depicted in a negative light)
• Pregnancy (A side character becomes pregnant and the pregnancy is discussed)
• Mention of pregnancy loss (Not shown on page; a side character had a loss in the past and it’s mentioned)
• Combatting comparison (The main character compares herself to others in both her career and love life)
