If I were to make this book into a movie, I would have the main character Kenna, in a lot of skinny jeans because it mentions that she wears jeans a lot in the story. She would not have a lot of designer clothing because she does not make a lot of money. She would also wear a lot of neutral colors and blacks because she doesn’t want to stand out or be recognized.

Kenna's apartment is an important setting of the story because it is where her and Ledger confess their feelings for each other and it also represents her as a person and her mental state. If it were a play, the set would be a small kitchen that connects to the living room. It would have very dark and dingy lighting, and there would be a lot of coffee in her kitchen because she relies on coffee for energy.

I would cast Elizabeth Olsen because I think she would be good at acting what it would be like in a prison.

One symbol to Kenna in my book is her journal. She writes letters to Scotty in her journal since he is no longer in here for her to actually talk to. She lets her thoughts and feelings out in her journal because she feels like its her one way to talk to him, and she lost the one person she could confide in. Her journal is important to her because she has no family or friends, and it is like her connection to Scotty.

In the book, Kenna has a flashback of when her and Scotty were on a date. In the text, it says, "...were browsing antique stores, mostly window-shopping because it was still light out. We were holding hands, and every now and then you would stop and kiss me...We were happy. in love, full of hormones, full of hope. It was bliss." This quote shows the positive memory and setting that contradicts the tragic plot.

In the book, the setting mostly takes place in Kenna's apartment. Her apartment is very empty, cheap, and trashy. In the book, the other character and perspective, Ledger says, "She lives in a sh*thole. I doubt she has money to hire an attourney." This quote shows how poor her apartment is made out to be.

The main characters, Kenna, has just revealed the accident that killed her boyfriend, Scotty. She tries to visit Scotty's parents, who have custody of her kid. The other narrator, love interest, and bestfriend of Scotty stops her when he finally realizes who she is. I think that both narrators are somewhat unreliable because Ledger is furious at her, and sees the worst in her, and Kenna is just revealing her secrets

There are two main characters in my book. Kenna and Ledger are both connected by Scotty, who passed in a car accident. In the book, we see both characters' point of view in first person. Kenna knows who Ledger is, but he doesn't know who she is. This affects the story because we have more insight than Ledger does, so we know the answers to the questions he asks himself internally.

The main character, Kenna is delicate because she is going on a date and wants to look presentable. However emotionally, she is scarred and devastated because she just found out the man she is going on a date with is her dead boyfriend's best friend. Because she is grieving, she isn't vulnerable and she has her guard up.

The main character, Kenna is in a grieving state because she lost someone she loved. She was just released from prison, and is living in her own home for the first time. She is trying her best to be independent, and she is financially struggling, applying for various jobs to get money and walking places to save money. She is also batting for custody of her child which shows she is persistent.
