Author Liara Tamani: 'Even when things seem to be going terrible in the world .... I want teens to remember to look to the blue sky for peace. To listen to the birds and pay attention to the trees. Simple things, but they can be transcendent.'
I think most people are wisdom seekers. Looking for truths beyond themselves that can help guide and give meaning to their lives. Some people seek those truths in the way of religion and others create a more personalized guidance system for themselves. In this book, Carli looks to signs from the Universe for direction. And Rex looks to his mother, who died giving birth to him.
Love at first sight is such a classic trope — but then of course you have to actually get to KNOW the other person. But their relationship can't be sustained from the feelings of a single moment or even their continued chemistry. As they get to know each other, their connection deepens, but they also begin to see the issues plaguing each other. They try to get lost in each other and ignore them. But the issues, being the slithery things they are, begin to creep into their relationship and cause harm.
I want teens to know that every little decision they make adds up to create their future ... I want them to recognize their own power and take charge of creating their own destinies.I would say you're partly right. Mostly, though, Carli and Rex's fathers have unresolved issues. And these issues certainly keep them from being their best selves. With Carli's father we see how rejection, trauma, shame, and the fear of losing his family keeps him from living in truth.
