- Reading
- You could read together or check in after the early chapters, asking what your reader thinks about the family’s situation before continuing at a comfortable pace.
- Themes
- Serious illness and time together: Taylor’s father receives devastating news; the family spends one last summer together and is aware of a ticking clock. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Family reconnection: The Edwards are described as busy and not especially close-knit; being together at the lake house helps them get to know one another again. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Friendship and romance: Taylor encounters a former best friend and a first boyfriend from her past during the summer. Friendship and romantic possibilities are present; how these relationships develop or are portrayed is not established.
- Worth knowing
- A parent’s serious, described-as-terminal illness and the family’s awareness of a ticking clock are central pressures. Consider whether this subject may feel close to home for your reader.
