So far, the only new character introduced is Trish, the "psychotic" woman who was put in charge during Hayley's childhood. As Trish reemerges into the Kincain's life, Hayley goes on a rebellious streak, fighting Trish tooth and nail. Everything around Hayley crumbles. Gracie's family structure, her relationship with Finn, and her school work.
Hopefully, Hayley can stand strong in such troubling times.
Personally, I am still in love with this book. Its enlightening perspective into Hayley's opinions really creates a connection between the reader and the protagonist. I can't wait to see how it ends.
