- Reading
- Consider reading together if Casey's illness feels close to home. You could pause to check how the friendship changes and the unexplained events are landing, without needing to settle what the supernatural means.
- Themes
- Friendship changes: Caroline feels distanced from Brenda and grows closer to Aimee; the story also presents some friendships as worth keeping, fighting for or enduring beyond death. The story gives weight to choosing which friendships to hold on to, while leaving room for relationships to change.
- Worth knowing
- Casey's poor health and the vet's suggestion that it may be time to put him to sleep make pet illness and possible loss central concerns. An early scene also raises a missing cat's possible encounter with a wild animal.
