* AbileneParadox: [[spoiler:Luc and Oliver's marriage. Luc got flustered and emotional and proposed to Oliver without thinking; after which he decided to go through with it, since Oliver had immediately informed his family and he had bought a ring for him. Even as doubts keep piling up for him, Luc can't back down because Oliver is putting his all into the wedding and he believes that this is what Oliver wants and that it is going through with it or losing him. Oliver meanwhile, reveals at the very end that he also had serious doubts about the marriage and the process made him realize this is something he doesn't really want in his life, but can't back down either because he thinks Luc must have had to gather all his courage and willpower to propose, and terminating their engagement would mean to break his heart. Oliver blinks first at the final chapter of the novel, revealing he can't go through with it to Luc right before their wedding, prompting a fight in which Luc also mentions he didn't want to get married. They decide to simply call off the wedding and keep dating.]]

* ForgivenButNotForgotten: Downplayed. When Luc meets Miles, the man who ruined his life, again, he accepts to attend his wedding with a young youtuber, as an olive branch. While attending the wedding, he makes a few amends with some people he used to hang out with before their break up also tore apart their shared friend group and gets to see a bit of Miles's side of the story (he did feel guilty about his actions and all of their closest friends sided with Luc, cutting him out of their lives). When he parts with Miles, he seems to have buried the hatchet, but very clearly states that they're not, nor will ever be, friends, and he will always be the man that ruined him for years.

* HardTruthAesop: Different people have different relationships. The traditional path of relationships leading to marriage are not for everyone and is not a proof that a relationship is healthier or more stable than an alternative one.

** Jojo, Miles's fiancé. Jojo insists on inviting Luc to their wedding as an apology for what Miles did to Jojo, but right after the wedding, he admits to Luc that the real reason he wanted him there was as a sort of consolation. Miles did something awful to Luc by selling his secrets to a tabloid, the revelation of which almost causes Jojo to break up with him. Jojo wanted to see Luc to know that if Miles did the same to him, there was someone who made it out of the same situation and is living a happy life after Miles's betrayal.
** Oliver has this opinion of his brother. Despite his philanthropic work as a doctor in in-need zones of the world, he believes that part of this job that Christopher sees as an advantage is how it puts him thousands of miles away from his family all the time, leaving Oliver to deal with any problem his family has. [[spoiler:For example, when their father dies, Oliver is left to do everything, including setting up the ceremonies and consoling his grieving mother, while Christopher only appeared at the day of the funeral, once his help was no longer needed.]]
