I felt really sad for both Lydia and her father, James, whenever he had given her the "How To Make Friends" book because Lydia felt hurt by receiving this and James was also hurt because he just wanted to help her by giving her this book: "Lydia felt her her heart in her chest like a pellet of ice, sliding down out of reach. 'I have friends, Daddy,' she said, though she knew this was a lie" (Ng 176).
