Hit the Road
What do you think?
1. Do you think there is some truth to Aston’s claim that Aurelia has Alzheimer’s? Are his actions motivated exclusively by money, or is there even a little genuine concern?
2. Throughout the book, age is a constant factor. What are some of the similarities and differences between Brit and “the girls” in how they act, think, and are treated by others?
3. Technology (cell phones, downloads, computer hacking) plays a large role in the book. Do you think it adds or subtracts from the other themes of the book, and why? Will all of the specific technology references limit the book’s appeal in the long run?
