- Reading
- Read it as a character-and-conversation novel rather than expecting constant action. Pause after major friendship or family developments, and discuss whose perspective is missing.
- Themes
- Friendship, loyalty and intervention: Sloane becomes close to Vera, helps Remy understand a break-up, and decides to address what she sees as a wrong done to Gabe and Vera. The book leaves its stance open to more than one reading.
- Art, writing and cultural identity: Sloane’s father is a novelist affected by writer’s block, while Gabe and Vera’s deceased mother was an artist and an immigrant from the Dominican Republic. The book presents this mainly as information or explanation.
- Romance and changing relationships: The friendship group includes romantic relationships, including Vera’s girlfriend, and Remy asks Sloane for help understanding his break-up with Aubrey. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Worth knowing
- The main points to notice are mild language, references to a deceased parent, relationship break-ups, and a lesbian character with a girlfriend. The treatment and detail of these elements may vary.
