A central theme of the novel is that true love often finds its strongest roots in platonic connection. Persephone "Percy" Fraser and Sam Florek begin as thirteen-year-olds who bond over simple activities like swimming and watching horror movies. This shared history creates a "soulmate" dynamic where their eventual romantic evolution feels like an extension of their childhood trust rather than a separate event.

A TV series adaptation is currently in development at Amazon Prime Video.
