Young Adult Book Reading Challenges discussion

In general, what are your thoughts on sexuality as a theme in YA literature?

Consider as well the theme of homosexuality/homoeroticism, which appears in this book (saving my op. for later) but that I wouldn't dare discuss with my husband's 82-year-old conservative Catholic grandmother.

Let's face it, pubescence is when sex becomes an issue in most human lives, defined as the time when the body parts/hormones in question become functional but not yet fully developed.

As with most new technology, kids today (compared to, say, kids 100 years ago) seem more able to pick up any new gadget, plug it in, play around with it, and figure out how it works without reading the manual. They ask their friends for pointers on its use, or, like Tris, Google techniques on how to get the most out of it.

Finally, how does the book explore the theme and does it work for you? Why or why not?
