Cupidity
Caroline Goode
- Reading
- Read together or check in after the opening premise, then discuss which school rules feel comic and which might shape how students treat one another. The ending is unclear.
- Themes
- Dating and social standing: Laura seeks help finding a boyfriend in a school described as having a strict social ladder and rules about dating behaviour. The setup connects romance with school status, but does not establish whether the story challenges or accepts that connection.
- Worth knowing
- Dating rules in the school setting include prohibitions on hand-holding and kissing. Consider whether that rule-based approach to romance suits your reader; the wider treatment is unclear.
