Quote
"And I know what she's thinking because I'm thinking the same thing-that this is crazy.That nothing's ever gonna change" (Booth).



Reaction
This quote is ironic from my point of view. The quote is ironic because Kendra states that things will never change but i believe that a lot of things have changed within the novel. From Kendra experiences she has been able to deal with them in mature matters and trying her best to be two people she isn't by making the ones she love happy. I believe that anyone who reads this novel will be able to connect in so many different ways, maybe not to an extreme point but to a point where they can relate in a positive way or one that triggers a memory. Many novels you will have a connection but reading a ten novel will show you and help you make good choices in your life.
