Essay Topics

Write an essay for ONE of the following topics:

Essay Topic 1

Leah throughout the novel has a special feeling towards Abby, but it takes her some time to embrace it. Similarly Abby likes Leah for a long time, but takes some time to come into accepting this. How does the novel reveal this slowly and structurally to let this romance develop? How do flashbacks, and reminders of memories throughout slowly build the romance? What allows both of these characters to face the truth, and how do they decide to push past any obstacles in their way?

Essay Topic 2

Leah is bisexual, but not out, but also is white. How do you think Abby's understanding of her sexuality, and her confusion about it and decision to date Nick even when she is looking for a reason to break up, may have to do with her concern with appearances? How does racism and appearance factor into who gets to experiment with their sexuality versus who does not?

Essay Topic 3

Abby tells Leah that she is talented, and that Abby has been afraid of Leah, and worried of how she seems to her. Discuss Leah's perception of self, versus outside of her. Which one do you think is more accurate? What are Leah's blind spots that she does not see about herself, and why does she not see them? What is the novel saying about what we see in ourselves, versus what we see in others?
