Her story is another one of messed up families. Her mother and her father get married young while they are both in college and the marriage doesn't end up working out so they separate. Judith gets stuck with her mother and all contact between her and her father and his family is severed.
Judith's mother hates that she is fat and constantly has Judith dieting. When she doesn't loose any weight her mom accuses her of cheating and beats her. I don't understand how any mom could be like that. It's so ridiculous. I just think Judith was a reminder of her father to her mother and an obstacle too. I don't think that her mother wanted a child anyways. She was looking to be a singer and when she got pregnant all her hope vanished. And she blames everything on her daughter because of it. It saddens me that she would act like this. I wish that she had let Judith live with her father.
In the end, Judith comes to terms with herself. She finally meets she father and though she says that she can never truly love him, I think she at least likes him. I liked this book. It was written in kind of stream of conciseness... but it was very short...but not exactly too the point, or as dense and detailed as Lucky was, but I still liked it.
