Blackmail Boyfriend
Chris Cannon
- Reading
- Try reading the opening together, then pause to discuss what each character wants from the arrangement. Revisit the question after finishing to see whether your view changes.
- Themes
- Pressure and a pretend relationship: Haley pressures Bryce to act as her boyfriend for a month, using the possibility of trouble with another girl's boyfriend as leverage. The setup makes coercion part of the romantic premise, but the outline does not establish whether the story criticises, excuses or otherwise frames Haley's behaviour.
- Worth knowing
- Blackmail and a threatened confrontation involving an angry, cage-fighting boyfriend are part of the premise. The intensity and outcome of the threat are unclear.
