SuitabookSuicide notes from beautiful girls
Lynn Weingarten
- Reading
- Consider checking in before and after reading about reactions to suicide, death and the unresolved mystery. Discuss consent, responsibility and the difference between suspicion and proof without revealing the ending.
- Themes
- Friendship, intimacy and loyalty: June and Delia were exceptionally close, with secrets binding them together, before their relationship changed. The book?s stance on this remains unclear.
- Death, suspicion and truth: Delia’s death is described as suicide, while June believes she was murdered and searches for a more complicated truth. The book?s stance on this remains unclear.
- Responsibility after a damaging event: A night involving June, Delia and Ryan went beyond what June expected, after which she believed things could never be the same. The incident is presented as consequential and secretive, but its nature and the book’s judgement of each person’s responsibility are not established.
- Worth knowing
- The book warrants attention for suicide-related material, a death by fire, possible murder, bereavement and sexualised or intimate situations. The extent and treatment of these elements, including the ending, remain unclear.
