It isn't until the middle of the book until the reader learns what actually happened to Mel to drastically transform her outlook on life. Prior to these details, I had a fairly good theory of what happened through home and school interactions which changed how I read the book and perceived Melinda.
Mel's former friends will not associate with her after she calls the police at the party even though they have been close friends for years. Is this the same balance of friendship and popularity that most adolescents perceive in their own lives?
