- Reading
- Because this is a sequel, briefly establish who Addie, Laila and Connor are before reading. Pause after major revelations to separate what characters know, remember or suspect from what remains uncertain.
- Themes
- Choice and possible futures: Addie can see the future when faced with a choice, but this ability does not make her current situation easier. The premise sets up tension between knowing possibilities and living with present decisions, but does not establish the story’s final judgement.
- Trust, betrayal and secrecy: Addie has been used by her boyfriend and betrayed by her best friend; Trevor becomes suspicious after Addie witnesses concealed secrets. The book?s stance on this remains unclear.
- Memory and control: Laila may be able to restore Addie’s memories, but powerful people do not want this to happen. Memory and control appear to shape the central conflict, without enough information to determine whose position the story supports.
- Worth knowing
- Be ready to discuss betrayal, manipulation, memory loss and suspense.
