teen romance theme
Young characters engage in romantic relationships, perhaps for their first time, and the relationship is notably featured in the story.
Notes
There are stories in which "boyfriend and girlfriend" applies because two characters are described as such, but where nevertheless there was no notable idea of romance (explicitly or by its conspicuous absence). This typically happens when the relationship is entirely irrelevant to the story. In such cases we do not use "teen romance".
