- Reading
- A parent and teen could read it together or check in afterwards, focusing on how Nic and Battle communicate and handle uncertainty. Let the young reader set the pace for discussing identity or relationships.
- Themes
- Attraction and identity: Nic questions whether her attraction means she is lesbian or bisexual, while developing feelings for Battle. The book presents this favourably.
- First relationship and uncertainty: Nic and Battle become close, but each experiences complicated feelings as attraction and other connections enter the picture. The relationship is presented as emotionally difficult and confusing, rather than as a simple romance.
- Worth knowing
- The relationship includes kissing, and the story addresses sexual tension, jealousy and emotionally difficult uncertainty.
