Quote #4

Her peace was broken, smashed to bits. (8.53)

Nothing like a hot Greek guy to ruin the moment… So what if Kostos sees Lena naked? Is this the worst thing in the world? For an insecure teenager, the answer is absolutely yes. Lena's embarrassment causes her to overreact and blow the whole thing out of proportion. No wonder that girl is afraid to live on the edge. 

Quote #5

Sometimes you're the windshield; sometimes you're the bug.—Mark Knopfler (9.Epigraph)

And sometimes you're the frustrated person trying to scrap the bug off the windshield. No matter, though, because the point is that we really never know what life is going to throw at us. This quote begins the infamous chapter in which Bridget salsa dances her way into the Hotel Hacienda to see Coach Eric. He dances with her (she's the windshield) and then tells her they can't take flirtation much farther (she's the bug)—but none of it gets her down. And that's the point: Life has its ups and downs, so when you're the bug, make the best of the bad situation. 

Quote #6

She suddenly felt all that intensity crashing in on her. She felt like crying. (10.47)

Bridget feels like she can't do anything right. One would think dominating on the soccer field would be a good thing, but in Bridget's case, she can't hold back her intensity and her desire to be noticed. How can she find the balance?
