* [[Hot Dad]]: Blue's father Gareth is very handsome and charming as well as a serial womanizer.

* [[How We Got Here]]: The book begins with a murder, and spends about two-thirds of its pages building up to how it happened.

* [[Something Only They Would Say]]: A variation: {{spoiler|A few of the reasons of the reasons Blue thinks her dad and Hannah slept together at some point include things like Hannah's use of the simile "like butterflies" in a suspicious context, her fondness for the film ''L'Aventura'', and other things which she describes as "her father's fingerprints".}}

* [[Well, Excuse Me, Princess!]]: Jade is a spoiled brat and often insults Blue, but while drunk tells her that Blue is the only Blueblood she actually really likes.
