What Parents Need to Know
About Love Me Tender
Parents need to know that there isn't anything objectionable here. There's discussion of out-of-wedlock pregnancies and possible divorce, however the majority of the book deals with the complicated relationships that occur between family members. This is a good novel for families dealing with a major shift in female relationship dynamics.

Families Can Talk About

Did you see any similarities between Mel and Clare's relationship versus Elvira and Kerrie's? What about Elvira and her mother's relationship versus Mel and and her mother?
