Quote #4
It stinks that she lives in California, especially now. Aunt Jennifer reminds me of my mom. They are sisters, of course. Were sisters? (7.22)
Is Aunt Jennifer still Sophie's sister after Sophie's death? Is Corinna still her daughter?
Quote #5
I don't tell Joci, but I worry about my dad feeling too lonely. (9.77)
Corinna doesn't realize that her dad might welcome some alone time. He needs a break—even just overnight—from being a single parent, and everyone needs time to be alone with his or her grief.
Quote #6
I miss the old dad, the one I knew before Mom got sick. The one who laughed and made me laugh. I feel like I should be the parent and make him go out with his friends or play tennis or something. (10.66)
Corinna's dad is a mess, and he doesn't have the same daily access to his friends as Corinna does because he's an adult. She doesn't need to be his parent, though—he needs to be hers.
