1.

Examine The It Girl from the dark academia lens. What elements from the setting represent dark academia? Study the characters’ physical descriptions, actions, and tone while they’re at Oxford and describe how they align with the dark academia aesthetic.

2.

Why does Hannah hold onto a fear of the Porter’s Lodge nearly a decade after she last set foot on campus? What does the Porter’s Lodge represent to her?

3.

Because Ware chose limited third-person narration for The It Girl, all other characters are described through Hannah’s perspective. Hannah pays close attention to April and often views her critically. How do you think April viewed Hannah? How might April’s background and motivations have influenced her opinions of Hannah?
