Horror's Greatest Hits
A Goodreads user asked this question about My Dark Vanessa:
What was missing in Vanessa's childhood that made her such easy pickings? I kept waiting for some psychological explanation from her therapist. Vanessa was an only child and, except for a mother who was annoyingly intrusive and sometimes critical, there was no abuse, nothing to make her crave such intense "adoration," no explanation for her being so easily manipulated.

Jenny had to distant herself from Vanessa because she was obsessed with her. She appears to not receive much affection from her parents. This would make her gravitate toward anyone who pays her attention. As a loner and insecure it makes her a perfect candidate for someone like Strane.
