The main character's own mother sounds like she'll be a piece of work, but I think I have hope for her kind-of-but-not-really changing her tune. And Stella, I feel like I can kind of related to her already, minus the Asperger's, which is interesting to me because I've never read a book that features a character who's on the Autism spectrum. I'd love to get a copy of this so that I can continue.
