The Ice Cream Girls Q&A Part One

Welcome
To my blog. Today's post is the first of three parts.

At the end of The Ice Cream Girls by Dorothy Koomson there were some questions. And I decided to answer them.

Question 1: Who was your favorite character?
Poppy. She was so likeable.  She just wanted the truth to come out.  She lost so much of her life because of Marcus


Question 2: Who was your least favorite character
- Poppy's parents
I didn't like Poppy's parents. They cared to much about what other people thought of them, then the actual truth. They felt betrayed by Poppy.

- Serena's siblings
Serena seemed close to her siblings but they couldn't fully trust her.

- Serena
I felt that Serena was hurt by what her siblings thought about her that she didn't see the bigger picture for a while that by them not telling her what they actually were really thinking she couldn't see that she was doing the same to Evan

I didn't put Marcus in as a character I don't like, because that's the whole appeal of him I think. He is one of those people your not going to like

Question 3: Why do you think Serena stayed with Marcus after he hit her the first time?

Because she loves him, and she thinks that he loves her and when she feels threatened by someone new coming into the picture she can't break away so let's him hit her because she thinks it's right.  She was head over heels in love with him. She is very naive 

Question 4: Why do you think poppy stayed with Marcus when he was so abusive to her 

Just like Serena, Poppy is in love with him, she hasn't ever had a relationship with another boy before Marcus so she thinks it's normal what he is doing to her, and rather then seeing what he is doing as wrong, she blames herself, she feels as if what Marcus is saying to her is the truth. 

After poppy told Alain about the story of the ice cream I felt so bad for her. But Marcus was so controlling that she thought it was right what he had said

Question 5: Why do you think Serena chose to keep her past a secret form Evan? Do you think she did the right thing? 

I don't think she did the right thing by not telling him. Because there is always a chance that someone else would. While it might be hard to tell someone what you were involved in when you were younger, after a while you get used to someone especially after you married and had children with them. It's effecting her. And I think she had lied to him for so long that she is finding it hard to tell him. I think she didn't want to hurt him, I don't think it was the right thing to keep from him but I understand why she did
