YA/NA FANATICS discussion

This is for discussion on the Chapter 12, Chapter 13, and Chapter 14. It's okay to post spoilers.
Discussion questions:
Why do you think Jesse won't allow Isabel to give him rides or do other things for him?
What is your opinion on Isabel's mother?
How do you think Isabel feels about being alone all the time?
What do you think are Alex's intentions towards Isabel?

Alicia giving birth to a healthy baby girl Issues with her Mother again where Isa has to step up to take care of her, and go to her grandparents to ask for help, which they did. But then taking control of her education! Isa and Jesse did have some fun at the baseball field love that!!
Isa spending more and more time alone as Jesse became so popular and involved with school was hard to read. Mother out of rehab once again. Isa feeling alone at parties even when Jesse was holding her hand how sad!! Poor James and how Jesse handled that was very upsetting! Her herself noticing that she had changed so much was sad, but leave it to her sisters and Betty to get her out of the house, and to see Alex there all the better in my book!!! Her Mother moving away and taking Gracie must have been very lonely for her. And yes the sex was hot but must have felt a little lonely to just only have that part of Jesse!!

I agree with you Barbara here in that it was hard to read that Isa was so alone even with Jesse
I hated the way he changed her to his liking but she was so in love and in need for love and some connection with someone that she did it. To me Isa felt that the only way to be loved and to be seen by Jesse and to hold onto him Was to change that way she would not be truly alone, it is hard to explain but she did feel alone at the parties but at least he was with her and it felt like at least someone was spending time with her.

I so felt for Isa when her mum moved away with Grace that must have been so hard for her but you can tell that even though she was upset she knew it was the right thing for her mum to do.

Going to her grandparents for help must have been hard but for the love she had for her mum she knew it had to be done and she was so brave and mature to do that.

I love how at this stage Alex is still such a good friend even though you can tell he so much wants to be more but he is always stable and there for her but in her own time. Poor James, I was so mad at Jesse for what he did there his jealousy really took over there and his possession. It was around about here I started to really realise that Isa was only a possession to Jesse, he was always possessive and controlling but to do physical harm someone was way too much and set me even more against him than I already was
