- Reading
- Pause around Millie's move and her changing feelings towards Flora. Discuss what seems difficult about starting again somewhere unfamiliar, then revisit whether the fairy-tale comparison still fits by the end.
- Themes
- Starting again after heartbreak: Millie leaves Houston after discovering that her sort-of-best friend and sort-of-girlfriend has kissed someone else, then begins life at a distant boarding school. The book?s stance on this remains unclear.
- Fairy-tale expectations versus real life: Millie considers whether Flora, a Scottish princess and her roommate, could become a new chapter in her love life, while doubting that happily-ever-afters occur in real life. The book?s stance on this remains unclear.
- Worth knowing
- The relationship begins amid hurt, resentment and uncertainty, so it may invite attention to how people respond after trust is shaken. The ending and the relationships' longer-term outcomes remain unclear.
