Trivia

Unlike most books, PB began releasing previews of the characters before this book appeared in-app with cover art and chapter summaries.
The summary of Chapter 13 refers to the love interest by his/her default name, which is contrary to PB's regular practice of either using a stand-in phrase for any character with a changeable name, or avoiding specific mention of them altogether.
