What it tells you
Stella, the neighbor, lends Carrie a 2005 YA novel about a brilliant loner who goes to school dressed as a character from a sci-fi movie so nobody has to meet the real her. Handing that to Carrie White is either the kindest thing anyone does in the show or the most on-the-nose. Maybe both.
