- Reading
- Check in together as the story develops; pause to discuss any questions your reader raises, then continue at a pace that suits them.
- Themes
- Boundaries and relationship pressure: Mia’s boyfriend plans to leave for Japan for a year. The stated dilemma connects the possibility of keeping him nearby with whether Mia will have sex with him; the story’s judgement of that pressure is not established.
- School responsibilities and academic strain: Mia begins junior year with a difficult course load and is nominated again for school president. These pressures are presented as part of what is going wrong for Mia; whether the story ultimately treats them humorously, seriously or in another way is unclear.
- Worth knowing
- Sex is directly relevant to the relationship conflict: Mia may be able to persuade her boyfriend to stay, but the stated condition involves whether she will sleep with him.
