Finally got to chapter 19 out of 21 and Duke who is a major ASS!!!! dumped Lara for Pallace who now plays the leading role at the theatre. When I mean “dumped” I mean he didn’t tell Lara. She figured it out herself.

For a few chapters now, I just can’t wait to have Duke’s and Lara’s relationship to end because I believe it is toxic.

Lara is hard on herself because Duke is a druggie and possibly I would think alcoholic because he came into possession (started) that summer when he interacted with Lara do the first time. Lara wanted Duke to have a better life with no drugs etc if she stoped him. But let’s be frank here. He loved doing the drugs. He peered pressured her into it too. Like smoking.
