The saddest thing is when the doctor puts Jodee on a relaxation medicine for her nerves. Hell, they might as well have just taken her youth away. Jodee has started to become numb in certain situations. She said that her parents would always say, " here, take a pill." They thought that that could solve all of her problems. I can not imagine being told that a pill is last resort, and that is what I have come to needing. Poor Jodee.
Except, she never seems to be asking for pity… yet another quality that makes me very fond of Jodee.
Jodee puts being an outcast in a totally new perspective: “The hardest thing about being an outcast isn’t the love you don’t receive. It’s the love you long to give that nobody wants.” Which makes sense if you think about it, and it is so sad. People like Jodi aren’t asking for much … like puppies, all they really want to do is give and make other people happy.
Instead of being jealous of her surprise trip to Santorini, Greece, I am excited for her. If anyone deserves a trip to an ancient world inside of a slumbering volcano, it is the girl that has been thrashed mentally and physically by the youth of today.
It sounds amazing… the people she meets, the food she eats, the laughs she finally FINALLY shares with her parents again.
I wish that she would just marry Niko. He sounds like the sweetest guy in the world, and especially for her. I am so happy for Jodee and that she has such a good time in Santorini. At first I thought that Peter, her older friend that always stood up for her, was they guy that Jodee wanted to end up with. Although this book hardly focuses on romance, I now have changed my mind and feel like her and Niko should screw being “good friends” and admit they love each other.
