My heart broke for the main character and I just hated her mother for never helping her out more. <br /><br />Hmm I could relate on some levels because my mom was semi-involved in my life growing up but I didn't live with her while I was a teenager. She was definitely involved more than the protagonists mother was though but there were times when she wasn't paying attention and I got myself involved in a lot of things I shouldn't have.Traci @ The Reading Geekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08217617671731893865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6071281654490676742.post-62049227825072866212012-12-28T19:11:02.748-05:002012-12-28T19:11:02.748-05:00I hope to manage that balance one day!I hope to manage that balance one day!brandileigh2003https://www.blogger.com/profile/01669251993917961293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6071281654490676742.post-37820761409855276912012-12-28T19:10:25.283-05:002012-12-28T19:10:25.283-05:00Sam's family makes it!Sam's family makes it!brandileigh2003https://www.blogger.com/profile/01669251993917961293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6071281654490676742.post-10761834760941044952012-12-28T19:09:33.331-05:002012-12-28T19:09:33.331-05:00Great to hear!

My relationship with my mum....up until a couple years ago dad and mum could not say I love you. When the kids came along, I think they saw how I did it with my babes, it loosened them up a bit. They are very normal people etc, just can't kiss or hug their own two daughters. But , that is ok. I think I have taught them a few things with my kids:) <br /><br />Oh you MUST read Colleen Hoover SERIOUSLY!!!!

I don't think the cover prepares you for that at all! <br />My mother was way too involved in my life, and I think Anna's moms lack of involvement was a big factor in how Anna ended up doing the things she did.
