Mortality
We hate to break it to you, but we're all going to die. Luckily, we don't have to think about our mortality too often. Unless a big disaster strikes or someone close to us is sick, we can usually go about our lives without worrying about that kind of big-picture stuff. Phew. But the characters in A Mango-Shaped Space have more than their fair share of death to deal with. Jenna's mom, Mia's grandparents, and Mango all die and leave a big, empty space behind in the lives of everyone who loved them. One might even say a mango-shaped one.
A Mango-Shaped Space focuses on grief as a way of showing that no matter how different we might seem, when it comes to grief, we have a lot in common.
It might sound cliché, but coming face to face with death makes Mia appreciate life more.
