"I was fifteen and away from home for the first time." page 132
I think Edie's character is very relatable. The reader can sympathize with her because she is a young girl trying to figure out who she is. In some aspects, she is innocent and naive. She doesn't know how to act around Chris or what being intimate means. She hasn't had experience with boys so when Chris shows interest in her, she is flattered. Edie has qualities that make the reader admire her. She strives to do good work at her job and keeps her mouth shut when she knows she shouldn't say anything. She could have lied to Alice and said that she did nothing with Chris but she knew that telling the truth was the right thing to do. Edie just wanted to be loved and appreciated by someone which I think is what we all want. However, Edie learned that she wasn't going to wait around for someone that was most likely never going to show. She proved to be a strong and independent women which is a trait that all girls can look up to.
