Yep, that's right. The chaos of working with Delia and the fun of hanging out with Kristy help her realize that she needs to breathe a little: "It was like those few hours of craziness relaxed something held tight in me, if only for a little while.
And between Kristy's loyal support and Wes's probing questions, Macy's old self finally begins to emerge:. The words kept coming, almost too fast, tumbling over my tongue like they'd been held back for so long that now, finally free, nothing could stop them.
Not even me. Once Macy allows herself to share her deepest secrets with Wes in their game of Truth, she's well on her way to finding herself again. Which shouldn't have been such a big deal. But it was. Pretty cool if you ask us. But dealing with her own personal problems isn't all Macy's up against.
She also has to forge a new relationship with her mom:. I was supposed to be her other half, carrying my share of the weight.
In the last few weeks, I'd tried to shed it, and doing so sent everything off-kilter. So of course she would pull me tighter, keeping me in my place, because doing so meant she would always be sure, somehow, of her own.
See, her mom has gotten kind of used to "perfect" Macy and isn't quite ready to see her change—especially since she's still dealing with her grief in the same way.

Deborah releases her death grip on Macy, finally allowing her to take the final steps towards being herself again:. I was just trying to get it right, whatever that meant.
But I finally felt I was on my way. How do we know that she is, in fact, on her way? During the time I was writing this book, there was a lot happening. The movie based on my first two novels was getting ready to come out, I was under a deadline…the list goes on and on. While at first I felt a certain amount of pressure, Macy and her story soon became a sort of solace for me.
But to really disappear into a story is never a bad thing, for writers or for readers. Part of this may be because I suffer from a terrible case of perfectionism myself, which led to this awful irony of realizing that I was writing a book about embracing imperfection, and yet I wanted it to be perfect. So, as often happens in my books, I was learning right along with my narrator, struggling with the same issues. I think we both came out okay at the end, though.
She has scares on her face because she was in a wreck when she was twelve. She tells what on her mind and always looking for the perfect guy. She is always walking slowly.
