Zac & Mia
A. J. Betts
- Reading
- Try reading a little together first, then check in about how the friendship and the hospital setting feel. You can pause on the noted references if you want to discuss their treatment.
- Themes
- Friendship across hospital rooms: Zac and Mia begin communicating as neighbouring hospital patients, despite Zac expecting they would not be friends in ordinary life. The premise foregrounds an unexpected connection, but does not establish how the friendship is ultimately portrayed.
- Cancer in the story: Cancer and hospital care are identified as elements of the fiction. Their presence is clear, but the story's angle on illness and treatment is not established.
- Worth knowing
- Profanity and sexual references are noted. Cancer and hospital care also feature; the extent or detail of these elements is unclear, so consider whether you would like to preview the book together.
