- Reading
- Try reading one story at a time, pausing between them to notice how each writer changes the mood or expectations of prom. The collection’s separate stories make that flexible approach practical.
- Themes
- More than one version of prom: Stories include characters outside the usual prom scene and ideas such as a backwards prom or staying home for films. The collection presents a range of possible prom experiences, rather than treating the conventional event as the only option.
- Worth knowing
- Some scenarios involve a date who is more disappointing than expected, wanting to go with a best friend’s date, or punch spiked by students. These touches may prompt a little context-setting before reading.
