On page 12 to 25, Nadia begins to keep a distance away from church after her mom’s death and her sadness is noticeable in her actions and thought. She seems lost and disconnected from everyone and everythings around her. Brit Bennett likely wrote this to show how pain from losing someone can isolate a person and slowly effects their behavior and decisions before any problems that she will face during the book.

Around page 90 to 110, the relation between Nadia and Luke are getting deep. I can feel the weight of her choices are growing and the situations are more serious. Also the expectations of the church community becomes clearer. The "Mothers" feel like more of a judgment. Bennett wrote this to show how pressure from others can influence personal decisions and make people's problem hard to solve it privately.

Page 40 to 60. Nadia and Luke’s relationship starts from very quiet and low, but I can already feel secret and risky on their relationship because of their situation. Their connection look like based on the feeling loneliness than true love. Bennett includes this part to show how emotional pain could lead people to make complicated choices easier that may seem small at first but can have serious consequences later.
