Sign in for personalised guidanceThis is a story of friendship under strain, told through three girls’ distinct summer challenges: family expectations, an aspiration tied to thinness, and a family coping with bereavement and divorce.
The plot includes a character considering starving herself to become thin, alongside a brother’s death, parental grief and divorce. These topics may merit a check-in if they feel close to home.
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.
