1.Right now in the book Ruby(the main character) is finally letting her father in her life. Throughout the book Ruby felt like her father abandoned her and her mother when she was young. Now she found out that her mother never wanted him to be there and ordered her father to stay away when she was born. She also found out that her aunt and her father use to set up secreat meetings when she was little so he could see her, she was so little she did not remember any of it. She also found out that her father is gay and loves his assitant named Max which she calls Aunt Max because he reminds her of her aunt. Ruby finally got out of her depression, and got over her boyfriend leaving her for her best friend. She also has gotten over her mom dieing and has gotten love back into her life.



2.Well I finished the book so I have a lot to say about how I feel about it. One thing I really liked about the book is how the author wrote the book. Each page each word is in poem form. I really love this because it makes me think about what I am reading and adds a challenge my making the book not like the others I have read. One thing I did not like about the book is how the author did not describe Ruby at school and around her friends more. I would of liked it because it would have shown Ruby's mood more than when she was at home.



3. The theme in this book is depression because until like the last three pages that is the book Ruby is in. She is depressed about how her mother died and how her boyfriend left her for her best friend and is not coming for Thanksgiving. Also how she feels distant from her father and does not really have anyone other than Max her fathers assistant which really is not someone to love.

4. My favorite character is Max because he is a fun and exciting person. Also he seems really easy to talk to and a person who could help you through all your problems. In the book he seemed like the first family Ruby ever got when she arrived in California.

5. My least favorite character in the book was Ruby's aunt because when Ruby's mother died she kinda just left her and felt Ruby was not part of her responsibility any more. Also I think she should of went to California with Ruby not just send her away like she did.

6. I have finished the book so I don't have a predicting. But I came up with an alternate ending to the story. What happens is after all is settled between Ruby and Wip, Ruby's aunt comes to visit instead of Ruby's x-boyfriend for thanksgiving.
