“Don't you understand that I was once fifteen years old! That I looked at my mother the same way you're looking at me? That I see the hatred in your eyes and the despair and the love and all of it?”

“I'm eleven,” said Sport.

Mom's a piece of work! I liked that dad never made excuses for her & openly talked about what a horrible mom she is. Loved the relationship that developed between Sport & dad's new girlfriend. Wonderful little gem of a book.
