1. Trust Exercise
The novel is a complex exploration of the intense relationships between teenagers at a competitive performing arts high school in the 1980s. The narrative initially follows the passionate and tumultuous romance between two students, Sarah and David, under the watchful eye of their charismatic drama teacher, Mr. Kingsley. As the story delves into themes of consent, power dynamics, and the manipulation of memory, the reader's understanding of the truth is challenged when the perspective shifts halfway through the book, revealing layers of metafiction and questioning the reliability of narrative and the nature of trust itself.
