SuitabookThe devil you know
Trish Doller
- Reading
- This could suit a shared read if suspense is easier to manage with someone alongside. Pause when the trip turns dangerous and check how the tension is landing.
- Themes
- Adventure and risk: Arcadia longs for adventure and accepts an invitation to leave her routine for a road trip. The premise places the appeal of escape alongside the possibility of danger, but does not establish a broader judgement about risk-taking.
- Family responsibility: Arcadia works, attends school and helps care for her father and four-year-old brother. Her responsibilities are part of the contrast with her wish for fun, but the book's wider view of family duty is not clear.
- Worth knowing
- The journey becomes dangerous, and one character is described as having deadly intentions. The story is also called sexy, but the extent of sexual content is unclear.
