- Reading
- You could check in as you read about how the spying and withdrawal are affecting Jocelyn, then let your reader decide which parts they want to discuss.
- Themes
- Changing sides: Jocelyn is sent to infiltrate a group connected to her parents and decides to become a double agent. The premise centres on a change of allegiance, but the story's judgement of that decision is not established.
- Coercion and withdrawal: Jocelyn experiences withdrawal symptoms from a drug used by the North Koreans to keep her in line. The premise presents drug use as a means of control; it does not establish how the story develops or evaluates this.
- Questions about her parents: Jocelyn may uncover new information about her parents, and the overview says she is unsure whether she wants to find out. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Worth knowing
- Kidnapping, drug-related withdrawal symptoms and spy conflict are part of the premise. Consider whether these themes suit your reader at present.
