- Reading
- Read in manageable sections and pause after frightening discoveries. Talk about the difference between what Willa experiences, what others can verify, and what remains uncertain; check in before continuing if needed.
- Themes
- Reality and interpretation: Willa sees things that are not really there, and her visions may be connected to the danger surrounding young girls. The premise creates uncertainty about perception and evidence, but does not establish whether the visions are reliable, explained or affirmed.
- Danger and vulnerability: A serial killer is stalking young girls in Hollywood, and Willa’s visions may connect her to this threat. The book?s stance on this remains unclear.
- Starting over: Willa has moved to California with her mother and film-director stepfather and is about to attend a private school. The book?s stance on this remains unclear.
- Worth knowing
- Before reading, discuss whether stories involving a dead body, a serial killer and girls being stalked feel manageable. The intensity, detail and eventual resolution remain unclear.
