- Reading
- Consider checking in before reading about the domestic violence and suicidal thoughts, then pause afterwards if needed. The family pressures and grief also offer a gentler starting point for conversation.
- Themes
- Finding independence: Both teenagers want a future beyond their current home lives: Ezmita’s plans are resisted by her parents, while Asa is torn between leaving and concern for his mother. Their separate choices give the story an arc about putting their own futures into consideration, not simply following family demands.
- Worth knowing
- Asa’s father is abusive, and Asa reaches a point of contemplating suicide. The story also includes the death of Asa’s mother and references Ezmita’s sister’s overdose.
