Now that I've read more in the book, I've noticed a change in Auden's feelings about her stepmom Heidi. Before, Auden used to think that Heidi was just a over perky annoying girly girl, but Auden is suddenly realizing that Heidi isn't as crazy as she seems. Auden starts getting to know who Heidi really is on the inside, and not the "annoying little girl" on the outside. She notices that Heidi has a lot more in common with her, then her dad. Auden thought that her stepmom was the one who ruined her family, when in reality it was her dad that killed it. Usually, Auden and Heidi were never close, they weren't they didn't have that close "stepmom-stepdaughter" kind of relationship, they stayed in their own personal business, but one day everything changed when Heidi opened up to Auden. In the book, Auden heard Heidi calling Thisbe (her stepsister) "Caroline" instead of her name. When Auden walked by, Heidi was surprised and embarrassed that Auden had heard everything. When Heidi said, "I don't like the name! I wanted to name her Isabel. It's the name of one of my best friends here in Colby, and I've always loved it." At that point, Auden knew that Heidi was getting more comfortable with Auden, and she kind of enjoyed it. They started to talk about what Heidi really wanted, and they got closer from there.
I can predict that more on in the book, Auden will start to open up to Heidi about more things in her life. She's starting to have a better connection with her stepmom, then her birth mom. Heidi and Auden have started to open up more to each other about how they really feel about everything going on in their lives. Not only is Auden getting closer to her stepmom, but she's warming up to some of her coworkers at Heidi's store she works at. Auden was never a girly girl growing up, so now that she is working with the top girly girls she's ever met, she's starting to become closer friends with them. In the book, Auden and her new friend Maggie,
