- Reading
- Try reading together or checking in after a few chapters. Invite your reader to describe how the characters handle romantic tensions and what they make of the etiquette lessons.
- Themes
- Debutante expectations: The four Houston debutantes are beginning etiquette classes. The classes provide a social setting, but the overview does not show whether the book endorses, questions or simply depicts their expectations.
- Love and revenge: The overview places falling in love and plotting revenge among the debutantes’ experiences. These are elements of the premise; their consequences and the story’s judgement of the characters’ choices are unknown.
- Worth knowing
- Love and revenge are part of the premise, so relationship conflict and retaliatory plotting may be worth noting. The extent and consequences of these conflicts remain unclear.
