Chapter 16-18

Chapter 16
So this chapter is very eventful, emotional, and even a little chaotic. This is the chapter where Delia has her baby, which to me flagged a big problem for Macy because it meant that she may not be able to meet her mom on time, and I was right. The delivery of Delia's baby was very emotional to Macy because it was at the hospital where her father died, and she kept thinking about it. But during this time instead of being happy for Delia and trying to comfort her she was busy trying to call her mom to say she would be late but she couldn't get a hold of her. So when she went back to the commons to meet her mother, she was very nervous to confront her because she knew what was in store; yelling and disappointment. When Macy got home and was waiting to get home to discuss what she had done Caroline was trying to give her pointers on how to take the yelling and the punishment. Her mom was extremely disappointed in her and told her she could not caiter anymore and would be working at the model home Monday-Saturday 9-5.
Chapter 17
This chapter started as if there was a week or two gone by since the last chapter. I love when authors do that because it saves so much time in a book, that way a reader isn't sitting through pointless information that isn't really needed. It started with her and her mother at the dinner table after a couple of weeks of her punishment had gone by. I could tell by reading the small talk between her and her mother that Macy was unhappy and that she missed her friends. Macy also recieved another letter from Jason, explaining how he wanted to stay friends, even though she thought that the two of them were done. After reading the letter, she went out (against her mothers orders) to see her friends and she realized that a lot had changed.
-Bert had a date with a girl he met at the Armageddon social.
-Wes got back together with his girlfriend
-Delia was Staying at home with her baby, Avery
Chapter 18 
In this chapter, Macy was really concerned with her mother and her health but her mom denied that anything was wrong. Caroline came back and said that the Beachhouse was done and that it would be ready by next weekend, but Macy's mom act surprised. When Caroline reminded her Mom that the trip to the beach was the following weekend she denied that she ever agreed to it which really upset Caroline.
   Caroline left their house upset and Macy's mom continued to plan for the gala the following weekend when the caterer cancelled. Surprisingly she asked for Delia's number because all the other catering businesses were booked so she had no other options.
