- Reading
- Try reading a section at a time, then pause to sort out which pressures are coming from school, family or friendships; the ending and pacing are unclear.
- Themes
- Romantic uncertainty: Miranda wonders why Dex seems out of touch while she is in London, as a British boy shows interest in her. The setup places romantic interest and uncertainty in the story, but does not show how the book evaluates anyone’s choices.
- Family tension: After returning home, Miranda faces difficulty with a stepmother who is described as making her miserable. The setup indicates conflict, but does not establish its causes, consequences or how the narrative presents either character.
- Worth knowing
- Romantic uncertainty, a stepmother described as making Miranda miserable, and strained friendships are part of the setup; how these tensions develop is unclear.
