Comeback 4

So I continued reading along in the novel and it has gotten even more intense. Claire walked in on Mia cutting her wrists...what. Okay so tight. The story is started to get a little repeative and annoying but I'm going to keep going. It might just be because I am reading a few other books and haven't really had time to focus on this but still, they can start to mix it up a little. They try to bring her to more doctors, and it seems like nobody can do anything. It starts to get more into Mia's writings and journals, which are really dark and mysterious which I think will lead into her half of the book. She seems really creepy, but from what I have seen of her on the back of the book and in interviews it is weird to think it is the same girl. Somewhere in the book a huge change most occur, and I can't wait to hear about it. I'll keep it posteddddd.

Comeback 3

Okay, so I continued reading and in this part of the story now Mia is 15 years old. She has run away and gotten involved in drugs. Her parents find her high offfff her ass, and they take her to her therapist. This new therapist is different, and Claire and her husband don't know how they feel about her. She seems to make everything Mia and her family are going through "no big deal". Claire explains all of her concerns about her daughter and how she thinks that the way Mia is acting now a days must have to do with her Father molesting her as a child. Her therapist acts as if Claire is crazy, no no no that has nothing to do with it is how she would respond, leaving Claire feeling like an idiot. So as her therapist meets with Mia, and recommend Claire to back off of her and give her space, Claire knows if she does that Mia will just keep running away. So Claire goes to Mia's room to look for evidence, that this somehow must have to do with Mia's father. She digs through everything, and finds Mia's writings, tons of them, journals, pictures, diagrams. She reads them, they all include something about Mia's father, and Claire now knows she was right all along and can't wait to show teh therapist and earn her "I told you so" moment. This reminds me of one "Friends" episode I watched before I read this chapter. Haha, it was the one where Joey was digging through Rachel's room and finds her dirty books underneath her bed, he had always said Rachel must read porn because "everyone does" and she always denied it, and he had finally found something to prove it. Haha, so it definitly reminded me of that, even though in my book it is a much more serious matter.
