**when it came to my mother, I didn't know how to not care. I never felt calm except for the fleeting time her perfume was strong and I knew she was okay.**
You're an idiot. I'm only reading this cos I read a snippet of something feat. Maddy, and she's a better character than Emma.
I know I'm going to be skipping a lot of this book because her issues with her mother really puts me off. Justin, run, boy.

And then this stupid bitch goes into this fucking speech about how you don't have to figure your mother but you can choose to live a life without her to stop her from harming you, and I'm like "the call is coming from inside the house!"
Current mood: I have no sympathy for her. It's a shame this seemingly hot male lead was wasted on this book.

I'm not so much in hate with these characters that I can't see the parallels between the mothers. They fucked up their kids and themselves in their own ways.
But Justin's mom is a giver. Emma's is a taker. Different levels of forgiveness here between them...

*It was so easy to love this version.*
No. Your mother sounds like a nightmare that I can't wake from. I hate this book so much because she exists, and you're an idiot for thinking her going to therapy now is a cure-all.
