Well, (view spoiler)[I thought the same thing to that Blythe maybe wanted to abduct Jet, but I think she was stalking Gemma to know if she was right about Violet. If there was some kind of trouble. (hide spoiler)]

I was left with an open mouth at the end.
(view spoiler)[I mean: common! Blythe was right, but no one search for any help or advice and then that happens. I wanted to know what has happened to Jet. I think she gave him some cleaning stuff, because she asked information about it, but as it seems, there was a year and a half between the question and what had happened. I felt just, I don't know, this was a dark, confronting book, like a nightmare to read. I coulnd't get my head around that no one took it serious. (hide spoiler)]

Interesting to read and I totally agree on that.(view spoiler)[I think it did no good to Violet when Blythe said that it was okay that she didn't needed her and that she got attached to someone els. But Violet saw that as some kind of hate towards her from her mother, a rejection. Just like Cecilia said to Blythe that she doesn't want Blythe to become like her. In a way that was just what happened. I think there's maybe a sort of inheritance here. (hide spoiler)]
