"STORY ARCHETYPES: I feel like the book describes kind of a Cinderella vibe. I feel this because Stevie wants another tall boy to be her boyfriend and not a short boyfriend. I know this because on page 87 it says "I wish I could find someone as tall as me. They'll get me." this means that Stevie wants to find someone who is also struggling with their height." — May 12, 2025 11:18AM

"CONNECTIONS:One connection I can make with the character is that we both enjoy eating sunflower seeds. When Ghost's father gets caught by the cops, this reminded me of a story I read once when the father abused the child and mother and git arrested. I know this because on page 6 and 7 it says "My dad, he's shooting at us. They gave him 10 years in prison, and to be honest, I dont know if I'm happy about that or not."" — Jan 06, 2025 11:19AM
