Personally, I see the book as being a tacit clue towards the revelation that she's half-Fauna. She's struggling with her duality of nature and her dual heritage. Who is she loyal to? To either? Should she let her more animalistic side rule her or her intellectual side.

I wouldn't be surprised if we see a Vulcan-like trope where Blake is so cold and intellectual because she's afraid of her more animal side and is trying to control it by totally denying her feelings. She isn't very good at it which only makes her insecurity and fear worse.
