My Heartbeat Questions

Bring on the tough stuff - there’s not just one right answer.

  1. Is Link gay?
  2. Why don't we ever find out what their dad does for a living? He's always cooking—is he a chef? Do chefs have that many meetings? Is any of this important?
  3. How would changing the setting change the story? Is it important that it's set in New York City in 2002?
  4. Does James really love Ellen? Or does he love her because she's like Link 2.0?
  5. What if Link was the narrator? Would that change the tone?
