Quote #4
It was always jarring when he called her by her full name. Until they'd married, she was Katie Sweet. Now she was Katherine Hamilton. They sounded like totally different people, not that I was anyone to talk. (5.293)
Not only has the divorce broken up their family, it's also catapulted Mclean's mom into a new role—and a new family. It's hard for her to feel like she still has a place in her mom's life when she has a fancy new husband and a couple of babies now.
Quote #5
Rich, popular girl meets working-class scholarship kid, who steals her heart and whisks her away to the ramshackle charm and chaos of the restaurant world. It was the best kind of love story… until there was an ending to it. (7.4)
Yeah, that sounds like the kind of love story you'd see in a Disney movie, except the scholarship kid and the popular rich girl would live together happily ever after. Too bad real life isn't like a fairy tale.
Quote #6
"She cheated on my dad. With Peter. Left him, got pregnant, got married. It was a mess." (7.129)
Mclean's mom may have thought that cheating, getting pregnant, and marrying someone else only affected her (and Mclean's dad), but that wasn't the case at all. It's obviously messed up Mclean pretty good too.
