- Reading
- Read with the character choices in mind; pause when Tama offers advice and compare what KJ wants with how she chooses to behave.
- Themes
- Kindness, cruelty and popularity: KJ is described as nice to everyone, while Tama suggests that becoming cruel may help her get the boy she wants. The setup places kindness and deliberate meanness in tension, but does not establish which the story ultimately supports.
- Worth knowing
- The synopsis includes advice to become cruel and a wish for a boy’s attention; it does not establish how far either storyline goes.
