- Reading
- You could check in as the story develops, especially around its treatment of boundaries and consequences, and pause to talk if those themes feel difficult.
- Themes
- Boundaries in a sibling relationship: Marina and Lex are described as inseparable, with their relationship crossing acceptable boundaries and having serious consequences. The premise makes the boundary-crossing central, but does not show how the story evaluates it.
- Recovery and sense of self: Marina seeks to put the pieces back together with help from West and to face a past that haunts her. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Worth knowing
- The sibling relationship is described as crossing acceptable boundaries, with terrible consequences. Consider whether this difficult subject is one your reader would want to encounter.
