1. Eve and Quentin meet at ages nineteen and twenty. Do you think their age and lack of romantic experience has any bearing on their relationship dynamic? If so, in what ways?
2. The story begins after Quentin's suicide. Does knowing that he is already dead, and knowing how he died, shape the reading experience or colour your perception of him in any way?
3. What significance, if any, do you believe Quentin's upbringing and background have on his relationship with Eve and her family, and his inability to voice his struggles?
