SUMMARY:
It was parent's weekend and Daphne came to college to see how Susanna was doing in college. Susy had a roommate named Amy and once Daphne got there she began talking to Amy about her life and if she had a boyfriend. Daphne got Amy to confess about her boyfriend and Susy has been rooming with her and has never heard anything about the guy. Daohne suggests that Amy go on some type of birthcontrol and when Amy's parents got there, Daphne brought up the sensitive subject again. Amy's parents where shocked and before Susy knew it, she had a room to herself.
Daphne had been going out with Jason for a long time when a friend of Susy's from highschool, Martin, came to her college for a visit. Her mom came that weekend too. They were all suppose to hang out at Susy's dorm when Daphne convinced Martin to take her to get drinks when they ended up back at the place Martin was staying at. They slept together, and Susy was upset. Her motherr always found a way to mees with her emotionally.
During her last year in college, Susy met a guy in her writing class named Noah. Thet had begun dating quickly and then she founf out that he enjoyed gambling. Susy began to feel he was not paying that much attention to her so she found other ways to fufil her attention needs. She began to cheat on him. She slept with everyone and anyone but still put on the facade that everything was fine between them and even propused to him. He bought her a ring, a ring that Susy and Daphne oicked out, and went through with what every the two women said. A coupke months before the wedding, she continued sleeping with others and he continued gambling away their money. The last thing he said to her was, "you can keep the ring I was forced to buy you" (Sonnenberg, 175).
While in New York, Susy met a man from London. Their relationship began quick, and the first couple of months were great, he was sweet, thought and caring. They took vacations to the most exotic places and they deemed to be going good. They moved into a flat in New York together and whenever somebody asked aboaut the lavish things they had he told them the company bought it. They hosted parties and socialized and through the whole relatiopship, she never cheated, ever. Finally things began to change, and Susy began picking up on them. One night after they had slept together he told her, "I don't love you," (Sonnenberg, 181). She did not know what she did but in the end it was nothing she did but rather he found a new woman, Chealse. She felt it was not suppose to end like this, she was always the other woman.
Susanna got a job with a mopvie producer that moved her to California. She had that job for a while but they eventually fired her because she became proccupied with things that were worrying her all over the place. Her mother called and said they found a lump in both her breast and her ovary. When that started to alter her work performance, they let her go. On the first day she was back in New York, she ran into her friend Nathalie and her husband. They meet for food and drinks that later led to their home and eventually their bed. That's where Susy alwasy ended up.
She moved to Povincetown for the winter to work on her writing. There she met a man named Christopher, who at first was not her type but for some reason found herself attracted to him. He wanted to take things slow and Susy just wanted to do what came natural to her. He made her wait a whole 2 weeks before they slept together. Things became srious and the two of them moved to Montana after visting his family in Utah. hile in Montana she slept with one more woman and flirted with a lot of men but told Chriatopher everything. She said she likes the feeling of knowing he was telling the truth.
QUOTE:
"Come on, Susy! THey have to face the fact that the daughter is an adult now," (Sonnenberg 153).
REACTION:
I fopund this quote interesting, because Daphne was ready to put her daughter on birth control at the age of 16. Susy wants an adult then. Also it shows how the parenting styles differ from family to family but Daphne's is crazy and unexpected. This quote for me feels like a contridiction because Daphne is saying how Amy is now an adult so her parents have to expected but Daphne forced adulthood onto her daughter and made Susy accept it.
