“And I don’t want you dating Coach Jackson because I don’t want you to get hurt. You’re infatuated. It’s not good for you in the condition you’re in.”
I really REALLY don’t like the Junie in control of her mother’s romantic life part of this story. I know she comes around in the end butshe’s leaving for college in less than two years. Why does she have a say in any of it as long as she's being sheltered, nourished, and loved?
