Reading about this part in the book got me really upset. I can only imagine how Gemma must feel loosing her mother in search of her. Althought Gemma runs away because her mother must leave on her birthday I still feel as though it was the wrong thing to completely run away .
ReplyDeleteThis part was very interesting but also a bit confusing because at that point you don't know why her mother killed herself, so it made me want to find out why she did it. I agree with Jessye in that Gemma must be very upset and not only did her mother kill herself right infront of her but on her 16th birthday.
