The trouble with dating Sue
Anna Katmore
- Reading
- Consider reading together or checking in afterwards, especially around the kiss and kitchen scene. Let the reader set the pace, and invite them to say which interactions feel mutual or uncomfortable.
- Themes
- Persistence and consent: Chris's pursuit of Sue is framed as a challenge; she blocks his advances, and he takes a kiss. The plot brings the contrast between Chris's challenge-driven pursuit and Sue's resistance into focus, including when he takes a kiss.
- Worth knowing
- Romantic and sexualised material includes a hickey, a kiss Chris takes, and an implied intimate kitchen encounter.
