- Reading
- Read a few chapters together or check in after the family conversation, if it feels significant; invite discussion of Chloe’s choices without assuming how her parents respond.
- Themes
- Choosing a future: Chloe dreams of design school in London but has not applied to college, although her parents think she did. The premise sets up a difference between Chloe’s plans and her parents’ understanding, but does not establish whether the story endorses or challenges either position.
- Heritage and friendships: Chloe is described as half Jewish and half Chinese, and she has two best friends with different backgrounds. These identities and friendships are named as parts of Chloe’s life; how the novel develops or evaluates them is not established.
- Worth knowing
- Chloe has not told her parents that she did not apply to college, so family expectations and disclosure are relevant points to notice as you read.
