How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #7
A part of [Kat] wondered whether [Taccone] had more faith in her than her own uncle, maybe even more than her own father. (19.18)
As we said earlier, families can judge each other like nobody's business. (Get off our back, mom. Jeez.) Sometimes all these judgmental remarks that go a-flying at the dinner table can be pretty discouraging. We hope you'd never turned to a crime boss for comfort, though. You better wise up, Kat.
Quote #8
"This is my life, Hale. Mine. My father. My job. My responsibility." (23.44)
Kat is super possessive of her family. Even though she gets frustrated at them, she still makes it her life's mission to do anything she can to protect them. That's love.
Quote #9
"[Nick's] not part of the family." "Yeah, well—" Kat sighed. "Neither are you." (23.57 – 23.58)
Ouch. This remark burns so bad, we almost dropped the book. Even though Hale isn't related to Kat by blood, he seems to be just as much a part of Kat's family as her Uncle Eddie. So she knows this jab will hurt.
