Write an essay for ONE of the following topics:

Essay Topic 1

Goodbyes, endings, and new beginnings of college, adulthood, and life are themes in the novel. Simon says, "'I don't want to leave him or you or Abby or any of you guys.' His voice catches. 'I don't know anyone in Philly. I don't know how people do this'" (239). How do characters in the novel transition from not knowing how to do something to being able to do it? How do they cope with this change, and what allows them to accept the coming change? Choose three characters to write an analysis about what the novel is saying about endings, acceptance, and allowing change to take place.

Essay Topic 2

Abby and Nick's breakup resonates throughout the novel, making room for new possibilities of romance, while both Abby and Nick, as well as their friends, cope with the fallout. How does this breakup impact different characters? Choose at least four characters to write about their feelings about the breakup. Use this to discuss, how does a breakup have to do with more than just the characters in a relationship? And how do the way characters feel or think show a complex picture of relationships and breakups, and why people stay in relationships? Consider also how appearance factors into these choices.

Essay Topic 3

How did her previous self-consciousness with money have to do with her mom, and how did it set her apart differently from her friends? How does learning this from Wells allow Leah to make peace with herself and money? How do you think Leah will be from now on?
