- D.J. often identifies herself through her physical appearance. Do you think she has a healthy or unhealthy body image?
- In what ways does Brian match and break the stereotype of a popular high school quarterback? Did your impression of him change over the course of the story? If so, how was this accomplished?
- What do you think will happen to Curtis in eighth grade and high school?
- Is D.J. an appropriate role model for fifteen-year-old girls? If she attended your school, would you consider her a role model?

hi i finished the book. for those of you who haven't read it though, it really is a must-read. i couldn't put it down without wanting to finish the entire book. i think its more of a family story, because the main things in this books are secrets. how mom has been talking to Win and Bill via email. Or how schenk farm was going to close down if it wasn't for D.J. overall, its a great read and i highly recommend it. and also, D.J. really is a good role model.
