- Reading
- Read together or check in afterwards about which version of Lucy feels most convincing to her, and what makes it difficult to keep each identity going.
- Themes
- Keeping up a made-up identity: After moving suburbs, Lucy adopts a new persona and invents another identity for her new boyfriend; three party invitations put the charade under pressure. Lucy’s invented identities and the pressure of maintaining them drive the plot, bringing questions of honesty and social acceptance into focus.
- Worth knowing
- Dating and peer social life are part of the premise.
