- Reading
- If the friendship conflict feels intense, read alongside the first major turning points and pause to discuss whose perspective seems reliable. The ending remains unclear, so revisit earlier judgements afterwards.
- Themes
- Friendship and loyalty: Jinx tries to win back Liberty after Liberty becomes closely affected by Stella’s arrival. The story clearly makes friendship the emotional centre, but it is not clear whether Jinx’s response is affirmed, criticised or shown as mixed.
- Wealth and status: Jinx and Liberty are wealthy pupils at an exclusive school with substantial spending power and access to Brighton. The book?s stance on this remains unclear.
- Secrets and investigation: Jinx investigates Stella’s past and finds that more than schoolgirl jealousy may be involved. The book?s stance on this remains unclear.
- Worth knowing
- Pay attention to how the story treats wealth, status, loyalty and attempts to influence a friendship. Stella’s role and the significance of her past may need discussion once the full story is known.
