She's come Undone

I am reading the book "She's come Undone" by Wally Lamb. She is on Summer vacation right now. This book is about this girl named Dolores Price, who has a father who "loves her and her mom" VERY much. He hangs out with her for a whole week. Gives her a pool witch she has wanted since she was a little girl and plays around with her for the entire week. Dolores's mom is at her moms house visiting for a week. What Dolores doesn't know is that her father is going to leave her and her mom after this week. He asks all innocent and then when her father leaves (actually leaves) she wonders why he gave her everything she wanted that week. Since the father left life has been a little hectic for them. They go and live with Dolores's grandmother. After Summer vacation is over she starts back up in school. She starts back up win school. She is the 3rd smartest in her class. No one likes her. Thats all i have for now.

    Sabrina,

    How did you run across this book? I've seen it in bookstores and on friends' piles for years, but never knew what it was about. It sounds interesting. What do you think about a father being perfect, raising her expectations, right before he lets everybody fall? Do you think that's a kind thing to do, or would it have been better for him to ignore her? And why does he leave them if he loves her very much?
    Also, be sure to read over your posts for conventions. You need to capitalize all the words in a title, but do not need to capitalize "summer." There are some errors with apostrophes and in spelling which I think you would catch if you read it over again. I notice you consistently use "witch" (a magical woman) when you mean "which" (as in "which one").

    Josiah,
    During some class I was in the library and saw it on the shelf. I decided to take a look at it. It look exciting and then I started to read it. I would NOT like if my father was "perfect" cause then life would change so much. I just wouldn't like it. He pretended to "love" her that much, but he really didn't. He had never loved her before and just showed it during that week so he could leave.

    Sabrina,

    Do you think that was a kind or cruel thing to do, pretending to love her?
    What would you say is not so perfect about your dad? How would life be different if those things changed?
