The Ice Cream Girls Q&A Part Two

Welcome

Back to my blog. Today's post is part two of the Ice Cream Girls Q&A.

I loved the book, you can find my review HERE, and Part One of the Q&A HERE

Question 6: Do you think Evan was right to react the way he did after finding out about Serena's past?

Yes. Totally yes. You don't know how someone will react to finding out the truth about the person they love. But when it comes from someone else and not the person you love then it hurts a million timese more. He felt hurt that Serena couldn't tell him herself.

It must be hard when the person who told you then shows the article about your wife to the whole doctors office you work at. It was hard for him to take in. How do you deal with something like that.




Question 7: How do the choices Serena made as a teenager influence the life's of her sisters and parents. Do you think she was right to feel guilty


I think she has a right to feel guilty. Even though she was found not guilty in court it still has an effect on her. The choices she made still have an effect on her sisters. They are brought back to that time just by a simple comment made. It has effected everyone life's.
I also think deep down it's effected them a lot. I think her sisters are scared that something like that could have happened to them and even there children.


Its effected them because they don't know how to fell about what happened. Even 20 years after the fact. They feel betrayed by Serena.


Question 8: Why do you think Poppy's parents did the things they did

I think it's because they wanted what was best for Poppy before she was sent to jail.

Even though Poppy's dad  don't talk to her I think deep down they still love her otherwise he wouldn't have  kept going to the beach hut

They seemed to be feeling guilty in how they raised Poppy. They seem very much as people who care about what other people think of them and how they are looked upon by those people

I think keeping her brother and sister away from poppy when she was fist sent to prison was a good idea, but as they grew up I think her parents influenced them way to much. It a catch 20/20. How much do they actually remember of that time being so young. Was it really their choice to stay away or have no contact as they grew older. But why couldn't they choose when they were older and how much were they influenced by their parents.


Question 9: What are the differences between how Poppy's  family and Serena's family reacted to their being arrested and tried for Marcus murder

Poppy's parents haven't  taken it very well. They were worried about how other people saw them after what Poppy had done. It became hard for them to stay where they had been living because of what happened, and because of it they were guarded when it came to their other children.

Serena's family seem to have taken it in their stride. They don't tend to talk about it and when it dose come up it's a difficult situation to talk about. Serena's family hadn't taken it as well as she thourght they had.
