nx74defiantIn the book has Dante saying - Satan argued with God because God wanted to give puny humans free will and Satan thought only the angels deserved it. I never heard that before. The bible shows human were created with free will. It never shows Satan claiming only angels deserved it.
I was glad the Mom admitted to herself that her having an affair was do to selfishness. I hated when she thought asking Daniel to straighten up ruined her life. She had a great life.
It is a rather depressing story.
It really reinforces to me that young teenagers shouldn't be allowed to date. Trixie is in way over her head. She gives up her friends to spend time with her boyfriend. Something young girls tend to do. She thinks her parents lied because she knows in her self involved teenage angst that she can't be anything she puts her mind to, that she isn't pretty, etc. She thinks she knows so much, but she doesn't realize that once she can get past this teenage angst period she will see what they are saying.
Jason doesn't see that he did anything wrong. Through out Trixie's changing story I can see why he wouldn't. Trixie was really hurt. She had gotten to involved in things that she wasn't ready for.
