- Reading
- Before reading, discuss what respectful behaviour and consent can look like. Afterwards, invite reflection on competing pressures, the limits of reacting in anger and whether the ending feels responsible.
- Themes
- Boundaries and power: Libby responds after a customer described as a serial harasser and physically intrusive person pushes her beyond what she can tolerate. The book does not clearly resolve its stance on this.
- Family and independence: Libby is expected to pay for college and lose her room after graduation, while her brother is away after taking college money. The book?s stance on this remains unclear.
- Relationships and sexual confusion: A drunken hook-up with a coworker leaves Libby upset and confused, while she develops a crush on someone she feels understands her. The book?s stance on this remains unclear.
- Worth knowing
- A parent may wish to check in around sexual confusion, unwanted physical attention, alcohol, anger, housing insecurity, family conflict and financial stress, especially if these subjects could feel personal.
