Natalie Massingill’s Reviews > The Sweetheart of Prosper County > Status Update

Momma is negligent to confront her problems and doesn’t like confrontation or talking about problems. Austin is sorry for sneaking out and worrying her mother. Sammy ottmer knocked over his brick mailbox and he was found drunk and naked in his truck on his front lawn.

Austin keeps hanging out with the FFA crowd and she's sneaking around her mom's back doing it even though she knows it will make her worry a lot. I think he has a crush on one of the FFA boys named Josh.

Austin got talkedto by the FFA crowd wich made her happy .Dean Ottmer made fun of her in front of the whole lunch and she tried to tell him off but she ended up making it worse on herself because he took her hat and stuck it down his pants. Then Austin's mom is being a helicopter mom at Maribels Quineanera.

Dean keeps bothering Austin and he tippied her house. She decides she wants to tel him off.

What makes the characters in my novel believable are the way they show their emotions.For example, Austin, the main character, lost her dad a few years back because he drowned and her mother and she had to live with that. Her mother was often depressed or out of it around Christmas time and that makes their story believable because Christmas used to be a special time for their family and now they don't have that.

Currently the protagonist is dealing with the loss of her father. Her father died 6 years ago, but it is Christmas time in the book and her mom gets gloomy and quiet around that time.

The Protagonist in the story is currently trying to reinvent herself. Her name is Austin grey and her best friend is Maribel.
