Quote #10
And now there was her family. Could this actually be her family, all together in one room, with no one quarreling or threatening or criticizing? (42.3)
The fact that Lily actually gets the perfect family party she wanted—on top of a date with Daniel Steadman—makes the end of the book seem magical. While she does tend to overdramatize stuff, Lily's still had it rough, and the book's ending validates her claim that every family, no matter how dysfunctional, does deserve to have a completely awesome day.
