I didn't really like the last chapter I read; it was pretty depressing. Lizzy's mom keeps having mental break downs and is suffering from insomnia. Her mom has been in and out of the mental institutes for over a year. This is wearing Lizzy out. I feel really bad for her to constantly have her mother in her life one moment and out the next. I can completely see how it would be hard to live with this let alone try to keep up with school. Luckily, it is sort of working out in Lizzy's favor though. Even though her dad is the only one raising her currently her life is a lot easier in some ways. She gets at least one full meal each day and her dad is semi-sober. Also he isn't running in and out of her life constantly like her was when her parents raised her together.
After a while of Lizzy's mom being in and out of her life, she finally is sober enough to stay out of the institutes for a while. Unfortunately, this is only stressing everyone out even more. Her mom and dad keep arguing and Lizzy feels very disconnected from them. She mentions several times how she almost hopes her mom will have another break down so her life will be more stable. I hope her parents will work it out so she can live a more normal childhood and just be a kid!
A lot of people have said that this book is really good. I feel so bad for Lizzy! It sounds like such a tough life. I hope it ends up better for her :)
ReplyDeleteI'm sure the book will get better! I hate when I get deep into a book and the author gets really boring or the book takes a turn for something you don't want. But, if you keep going I'm sure the book will get much better as it progresses!

DeleteWow, poor kid. But even with the depressing overtones, it sounds like a good book! It's great when a book can give you emotions over a character isn't it? (Well, that's a double edged statement buttt...) Hope you enjoy your book!
