"In an act of family solidarity that she found awe-inspiring, her Mom and Dad waited to have their own lunch until they managed to spring her."
Why is that awe-inspiring? The parents have never thus far been portrayed as always-hungry gourmands who simply must eat NOW. Why wouldn't parents who were somewhere with their child, wait until she was able to eat lunch too? Makes no sense.

OMG no. "Discrete" used instead of "discreet"! Usually the error is made in reverse. Ugh.

"I did not mean to imply any such thing."
Wooden dialogue...are these humans speaking, or robots?

Does anyone else think it's odd to have a father tell his teenager daughter that her mother is upstairs taking a bath and he's about to join her?! I didn't need to know that...and I'm sure the daughter didn't, either. It's very hard to figure out the intended audience for this book. The protagonists are teenagers but it's written for adults. Sometimes that works, but I don't think it does here.
