What really stands out to me is Sophie herself she’s a very relatable character. She’s going through the motions of a normal teenager. As far as college goes I can relate to her I don’t like my college it makes me feel like I’m still in high school. As far as relationship goes Sophie’s moms response is a very typical response for a mother or a teenage girl. I feel bad that Sophie doesn’t have an adult figure that she can talk too about a relationship. Her mother doesn’t approve of it and in my opinion wouldn’t want to hear it. But then again it’s difficult for teenagers and a parent to talk about these things sometimes.i hope to see them grow an become closer and not have so many secrets. Sophie and her mother need to first work out their relationship and become comfortable with each other and the wants of each other in order for Sophie to be in a relationship her mother approves of
