Katie leaves New York City for Fir Lake and finds the new countryside setting difficult, while Michaela adapts more easily.
Katie feels displaced by Michaela’s new popularity and is hurt by secret-keeping; she also looks through Michaela’s computer.
Some attention may be useful around Katie’s distress at moving, the sisters’ rivalry and secrecy, snooping through private information, social exclusion, and the possibility of teenage romance.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: some draft conclusions still depend on unresolved evidence.
