- Reading
- Check in after the opening family-conflict scenes, then discuss whether the girls’ secrets create trust, pressure or both; leave room for the ending to complicate first impressions.
- Themes
- Family conflict and divided loyalties: Misty wants a normal family, but her separated parents involve her in ongoing cruelties towards each other. The book?s stance on this remains unclear.

- Worth knowing
- Before reading, consider whether a story involving parental separation, adults using a child to hurt each other, hatred towards parents and dark secrets suits the reader at present.
