Quote 
     " She was driving me crazy, inviting strangers into the car, doing way too much coke, flirting with my friends. I knew how a person could want to hurt her." ( Sonnenberg 68- 69 )


Reaction
     I like this quote because it shows the turning point in Susy and her mom's relationship with each other. It shows why she ends up not loving her mother like any daughter does. It basically shows us how and why later on in life she doesn't want to really have a relationship with her mother. When she says , " I knew how a person could want to hurt her" just shows how much she is mad and angry with her mother .
