Breaking Night Predictions

I just read another event-filled chapter in my book that change the entire layout of it! Lizzy's mother met someone else and decided to move in with him. She justified her decision by saying that she wanted to get off drugs and she couldn't be around them so she had to move out. Brick is the man who Lizzy's mother lives with. Lizzy had met Brick before her mom moved out, at a gallery. She felt very traitorous that she had met this man while her dad was at home oblivious to what was going on. Their whole family was already spread thin but this seems to have completely pulled them apart. Also, Lisa, Lizzy's sister, moved out because she wanted to live somewhere nicer with more normal family dynamics.


I think it was hard that both Lisa and her mom moved out because she describes herself being very lonely and just waiting around for her mother to return for her. Lizzy would wear her mother's clothes and watch the TV shows her mother liked to watch to feel comforted. The mood of the book at this point is a little nostalgic because Lizzy is reminising about her mom even if all of her memories weren't the best. I feel very bad for her because her dad is also very lonely and doesn't really talk to her so it's like she's isolated. I think that eventually Lizzy will move in with her mom based off how she feels at this point but I don't know if that would make things any better because then her dad would be all alone. Hopefully things will all work themselves out!!!
