- Reading
- Consider reading together or checking in afterwards about how the book handles grief and body image; let the reader set the pace if these subjects feel personal.
- Themes
- Self-image and outside expectations: Kim is described as unhappy with her unexpected appearance; the book is said to explore body shaming, self-esteem and how outside expectations shape self-perception. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Grief and changing relationships: The opening situation includes Oryon’s best friend dying in Oryon’s arms; the overview also mentions changing friendships and love not always lasting. Loss and relationship change appear important, but their meaning and treatment cannot be determined from the premise alone.
- Worth knowing
- Grief is prominent: the premise says Oryon’s best friend is dying when Oryon is kidnapped. Body shaming and dissatisfaction with appearance are also named themes.
