I am looking forward to reading the rest to see if my feelings will change but from reading your post, maybe I will still like the robot the most. #ppspdspot

Lucy always felt Kelsey’s fear. Maybe she wouldn’t have to be afraid around Poppy, John Paul and Lucy. #ppspdspot

Every summer could bring with it a different set of issues with new characters! #ppspdspot

That would have been awesome because then Lucy could always be surrounded by her true friends! I didn’t think they’d adopt Poppy since they had a hard time handling Lucy but I would have liked Candace to adopt her. #ppspdspot

Kelsey’s feelings are complicated. She did what was best for Poppy but why did she shun Poppy or did Poppy shun her first when she realized Candace told adults about Poppy’s situation? #ppspdspot

This book sets up all of the characters beautifully- so much so that you are sad to part with them at the end of the book. #ppspdspot

I would think Lucy’s grandmother would have embraced the gift that her mom had. #ppspdspot

I think she would have been able to understand her and validate her feelings while ginger healthy coping mechanisms. I would love to see everything behind the white sheet. #ppspdspot

Remember when the grandad talked about Lucy’s mom helping the baby bird? Lucy’s mom is also a “fixer.” She dampens her feelings but tries to solve problems. That is her way of coping with her big feelings. #ppspdspot

Why does she feel ashamed?Does she have a family member who is incarcerated? # ppspdspot

She was just overwhelmed. I hope they try to be patient with her. #ppspdspot.
