Cherry Crush Cathy Cassidy
Cathy Cassidy
- Reading
- Read together or check in after the opening chapters, focusing on how Cherry experiences the move and what she wants from her new family.
- Themes
- Joining a new family: Cherry moves with her father to a place where a new stepmother and stepsisters await. The premise establishes a significant family transition, but not whether it is ultimately welcoming, difficult or mixed.
- Attraction and loyalty: Cherry is drawn to Shay, who is already Honey’s boyfriend, and recognises a risk to her new relationships. The premise sets up a conflict of loyalties, but does not establish whether Cherry’s choices are endorsed or criticised.
- Worth knowing
- The premise includes attraction involving a boy who has a girlfriend, alongside the adjustment of joining a new stepfamily. How these tensions develop is unclear.
