Squidge promises Lia that he will always be open and honest, then faces circumstances that make this difficult.
Squidge’s dream of working on a film comes true while Savannah adopts him as her runner and shows interest in him.
Notice how the story treats honesty when telling the truth may disappoint someone. You might also consider whether Squidge’s own wishes receive as much attention as Lia’s and Savannah’s expectations.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: the current material supports only a cautious reading; another book-specific source is still needed.
