The mom treated him like shit, he must think that he deserves it, because he just sat there and took it. I know he was there physically, but he was too busy getting high to look around and see what is going on. I hate when people are the most racist/homophobic/Against everything that isn’t them, until they get called on it! Claire (Her Mom) is the biggest hypocrite EVER, and her dad Gerry (why is it spelled like that!?), was just absent. There was just something weird about them… I wouldn’t trust her with anything.Īlso, I should have known something was up with her and Justin. Or if I did decide to forgive her, nothing would be the same. You never know when she will need to cut you off at the knee again. She could cry all she wanted to, but I don’t think I would have been able to forgive her. She will do anything to save her own ass including, but not limited to throwing her BEST FRIEND under the bus. Kristina has a big mouth, and she is a liar. But then after getting to know Kristina, I see why she didn’t. Out of everyone Astrid knows, I thought that she would at least be able to talk to Kristina about her sexuality, seeing as Kristina was a closeted Lesbian. JUST SAY IT and they will leave you ALONE! By continuing to lie, she just made everything worse. The only thing that REALLY got on my nerves was the fact that she kept denying that she was a Lesbian…Come on, the cat is out of the bag. I will admit, that at times she was VERY immature, and I couldn’t stand it. I really like Astrid, I think she was very funny. But little does Astrid know just how much even the tiniest connection will affect these strangers’ lives–and her own–for the better. She can’t share the truth with anyone except the people she imagines flying over her at thirty thousand feet, and they don’t even know she’s there. She doesn’t know the passengers inside, but they’re the only people who won’t judge her when she asks them her most personal questions…like what it means that she’s falling in love with a girl.Īs her secret relationship becomes more intense and her friends demand answers, Astrid has nowhere left to turn.

Instead, Astrid spends hours lying on the backyard picnic table watching airplanes fly overhead. Synopsis: Astrid Jones desperately wants to confide in someone, but her mother’s pushiness and her father’s lack of interest tell her they’re the last people she can trust.
