- Reading
- Consider reading alongside a calm opportunity to talk afterwards. You might pause around Laura’s death or Miles’s downward spiral, then focus on what the novel shows about seeking support and surviving grief.
- Themes
- Grief and survival: Laura’s death shatters Miles, who feels alone before finding strength to rebuild her life. The book?s stance on this remains unclear.
- Self-image and comparison: Miles sees Laura as smart, beautiful, rich and popular, while viewing herself as unwanted, unattractive and underachieving. The book?s stance on this remains unclear.
- Support and family configurations: Miles finds care among people she did not believe cared about her, while the novel considers family love and alternative family configurations. These relationships appear important to the story’s account of survival, but their precise forms and the novel’s evaluative stance are not established.
- Worth knowing
- The key point to consider is emotional readiness for material involving suicide, depression, drug misuse and intense grief. The treatment of these subjects, including the ending’s detail and tone, remains unclear.
