Summary
When Susy finally decides to settle down with Christopher and decides to have kids is when I think she really matured. She now longer cared about what her my mom taught her was important like sex and money. She actually fell in love with him and over some period of time they had a child. I think having Daniel really changed her and made her stronger. In the end of the book she started to stop talking to her mother cause she became annoyed with her. She soon found out that some of what her mom told her were lies. Even after being all that she had been through with her bad mother I think it made her stronger and see things in a different way. In the end she stopped talking to her mom for good. She felt as if her mother had lied to her about everything. As it left off from the beginning she decided not to go see her mom after all. But, she visited her father and sister. They only thing that mattered to her now was her own family.
Quote
" She was wrong that the lies broadens the world. I'm told. I doubt myself. i tell the story of my own experience and wonder at the crazy details." (Sonnenberg 168)
Reaction
I feel like this quote is a very important part of the story because she telling us that she doesnt know if what she saying is true or not. Her mom lied to her about everything her whole life so she believes her whole life is a lie. And that maybe she was lying about thing too because, of how much of a liar her mother was. This quote is important because it shows why Susy was truly mad at her mother. To me it basically explains why she wrote the book about her relationship with her mother and how it affect her life. To her , her mother was a liar and thats the reason why she feels like she shouldn't speak to her anymore.
