Comment: 'Wavy knew the name of stars because she used to be told by her neighbor, Mr. Arsenikos, when she lived with her mother. As time goes by, Wavy's grandmother was dead by cancer which made her lived with her mother again. Wavy was seven years old at that time. She had a brother named Donal. At first, her mother was being a good mother, but then she turned out to be an angry and bad mother.

Comment: Nothing changed. All I read about was shouting, screaming, depression from Wavy's family. However, Wavy and her brother did not seem annoyed by it as long as there was Kellen. Kellen and Wavy fell in love to each other, but Wavy was too young so Kellen did not want to go further. | |||||

Comment: The whole chapters in Part 3 mostly tell about Kellen and Wavy's relationship. It took me longer time than I used to do. I read and slept continuously because I was not that interested in that part. I wanted a problem but it did not show up, or probably, the whole book tells about problem from the beginning to the end. I needed the climax of the story. | |||||
10 | 20 December 2017 | Chapter 1-13 (Part Four) | 58 | My room | 2 hours 20 minutes |
Comment: It took me long time to continue reading this book due to lack of interest at the previous part. However, the problem has been begun. Brenda, Wavy's aunt, found Val and Liam dead in their house. Wavy was 14 years old at that time and she got caught fooling around with Kellen by her aunt. Brenda called the police and said that Kellen raped her, and the police thought that he was also responsible for Wavy's parents' death. Kellen was sentenced with six years living in jail. Donal, Wavy's brother was missing but then he was found. They were seperated. Things were so miserable for Wavy. She was like a dead person living. | |||||
