Caroline tries dating someone who is courting someone else. Spoiler spoiler spoiler: a major revelation in the book is that Mrs. Paine is Jo's mother. Mrs. Paine was with Shang under her husbands nose.

For much of the book, the protagonist and another character live in a basement, having to keep their existence a secret from the owners of the overall house. The quarters are described as small, and the occupants have to be quiet most of the time.
