Love hurts
Beverly Scudamore
- Reading
- Read together or check in after sections that raise questions. Invite your reader to share what they think, without expecting them to disclose personal experiences.
- Themes
- Dating and personal boundaries: Mel starts spending much of her time with Colter, misses some activities, and worries that their relationship is moving too quickly. When she tries to slow things down, he becomes more attached. The plot raises questions about pace, closeness and boundaries, but it does not establish how the book ultimately frames Colter's behaviour.
- Worth knowing
- The book is noted to contain profanity, sexual situations and violence. Their detail, frequency and context are unclear, so consider checking in as you read if these subjects matter to your family.
