- Reading
- Try a few diary entries together first. Pause over unfamiliar British expressions if they interrupt the flow, and let your reader decide whether to discuss the relationship and coming-out themes as they arise.
- Themes
- Coming out and belonging: Clem’s feelings about coming out to friends and family are ambivalent. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Romantic boundaries and choices: Clem is seeing Han, previously rejected Alice’s romantic advances, and finds a new art teacher attractive; Han also becomes attached to the teacher. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Worth knowing
- Clem writes frankly about sex without graphic detail. The story also includes romantic tension involving a teacher and uncertainty about coming out; the extent and handling of these elements are not fully clear.
