again, I know this type of parent exists (my mom used to be like that), but this CRAP really brought the story down. The mother has a serious attitude, hates Sawyer, hates Kaye's choices, controls where Kaye applies to college, what extracurricular activities she does, how much time she spends on homework, who she dates. This book was no fun to read, with Kaye's mother. But including her and her negativity and borderline verbal harassment (disguised as tough-luck, no-nonsense mother) was not amusing, and really brought the story down. Kaye's mother's attitude very much took away from the story, and made the book worse. I HATED her, and if I were her child, I probably would have launched a vase at her by age seven or something. But Kaye's mother really, REALLY bothered me. I get it, and I know this type of parent is real. My mom is kind of like that (or used to be). Overbearing, controlling, domineering, loud, rude, stubborn, know-it-all. On the subject of Kaye's mother - let me tell you.
