Crushed
Sara Shepard
- Reading
- If you are reading together, you could check in while reading about the burn clinic or investigations, then decide whether to continue or talk more.
- Themes
- Pursuit and stalking: Spencer contacts a private investigator to help with her stalker; the plot also describes her stalking that person. The friends are trying to track A. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Secrets and trust: Aria worries that A is close to her, and a secret connected to Iceland comes to light; the other friends are also pursuing leads. The plot places secrecy and trust under pressure, but does not show how the book judges concealment or disclosure.
- Worth knowing
- The book is described as containing profanity, sexual situations and violence. It also involves a victim recovering at a burn clinic and a character trying to stalk her own stalker; detail and intensity are unclear.
