![]() “Can you leave?” my daughter said last night, as she geared up to clean the kitchen after dinner. Where she used attack me with kisses, she now flinches from any touch or proximity. But living now this mother-daughter relationship, day to day, I’m incredulous by what we’ve become. These were all the things my single father struggled to do, which made me feel singular, odd. My own died in a car accident before I was 3, so I spent my childhood longing for an ideal mother, someone to make me cereal but also to dress me neatly, to tie my hair in braids. Is the relationship between a teen daughter and her mother inevitably one of conflict? Are we just a cliché?Ĭlichés were once all I knew of mothers. “I told you not to go through my stuff,” she says when I mention the wrappers. ![]() She fills herself with all the junk I don’t want her to eat, all the junk I used to eat when I was her age.

We see him holding his breath underwater for extended periods of time - in the bathtub, in a swimming hole - but these moments read more like an adventurous teen testing boundaries than one who is seriously contemplating taking his own life. The film version, however, softens the blow of his suicidal ideation by labeling him as “the freak” who is seen as “different” at school. In the novel, Finch is much more explicit in his fascination with death and all the ways he could kill himself. ![]() With steady performances from Smith and Fanning, the result is a refreshingly sober spin on the YA romantic drama.
