Mira’s beloved grandmother Nana Josie is becoming seriously ill, and Mira is experiencing grief for the first time.
Mira is drawn to Jide, and the story includes her first romance, first period and changing friendships.
The main point to consider is sustained emotional attention to terminal illness, decline and grief, alongside first menstruation, a gentle romance, family secrets and references to a troubled past.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: the book’s treatment of its main themes is not yet firm enough; some draft conclusions still depend on unresolved evidence.
Anything not established here remains open; it is not being treated as absent or safe.
