- Reading
- Try a few chapters together before deciding whether to continue: notice how the viewpoint changes, and whether the fast-moving ensemble style is enjoyable for your reader.
- Themes
- Many viewpoints, one school community: A group of teenagers navigate a school year, with their circumstances and actions connecting across the ensemble. The linked viewpoints invite attention to how different people can experience the same social world; the tone is comic and exaggerated.
- First and new love: Romantic themes are named, and one character likes someone who prefers his dog. The comic setup suggests romantic mismatch may be treated playfully, but the wider treatment is unknown.
- Worth knowing
- The comic exaggeration may shape how the characters’ personal and relationship troubles feel; check in if your reader prefers problems to be treated more realistically or earnestly.
