The book Wild Roses by Deb Caletti describes a teenager’s life of parent’s divorces, fights with the parents, and their own relationships. The main character Cassie is still struggling with her parents’ divorce since three years ago. She describes the feeling of being shifted around from her Dads house and back to her Moms as "being an envelope that has the wrong address on it and it keeps getting shipped back to its return address." In the beginning of the book (chapter 1) is of Cassie complaining of her new step-father and how disrespectful he is to both her and her mother and she can’t see how her mother loves him, even though he is the famous violin player; Dino Cavalli. The second chapter is about Dino retelling his childhood stories to Cassie and how he named his dog after the man he hates the most. Third chapter is about how a violin player is getting lessons from her step-father and how she falls in love at first sight. So far in this book it has described a regular teenager’s life that has had to live through divorce and many other trails. =====

 * Summary:**The chapters 4-6 are talking about how Cassies step-father is going insane; He wont take his deppression pills and he says that one of his love-hate friends is after him. And Ian Waters the guy that her step-father is trying to give violin lessons to Cassie likes. Its all a mess and is starting a family fued. Cassie decides that she will stay away from Ian and will try not to like him. but on night when she is out with her telescope he appears, they end up kissing and all this time her Step-father Dino had been watching. right now in the book Ian comes over for lessons and Cassie has to leave the house because her feelings for him are so strong.
 * Reaction:** I think that sence Cassie and her step-father dont get along anyways she should probably not like Ian because it might set Dino off.
 * Q-words:** For these chapters i don't have any Q-words.

 * Summary:** Dino still won't take his pills and its scaring Cassie and her Mother. Cassie and Ian hook back up one night when she is at the dock. and they throw Dinos bike into the river. Its his bike that he loves and treasures. After one of Ians lessons Cassie drives him home. The next few days Dino is very quiet. Then one night at dinner Dino tells Cassie and her Mother that his bike has been stolen and he thinks that it is his 'stocker' William Terio. Cassie and her family have a thanksgiving party and Dino spazs out and thinks that William is there and is hinding outside in one of the cars and Cassie tries to calm him down and Dino crawls under the deck to try and find William; he directs Cassie to go look in all the car windows. Cassie finally calms him down and brings him inside and they look out the window to see a moving human body. it turns out that it is Cassies mother. Dino tips over a candle and starts the curtain on fire and Cassie puts it out with her hands. Then Ian decides that he is going to go to college after all and it breaks Cassies heart. The same night that Dino told Cassie and her mother that his bicycle is missing; and him and Cassie get in a fight over Ian and he throws a chair at her and leaves the room. So...Cassie is still having family problems and is thinking more and more about moving in with her father.
 * Reaction:** I'm shocked at how immature Dino is about Cassie and Ian having a relationship. And i'm hoping that Dino and Cassies mom will get a divorice so they can be a normal happy mother and daughter again.
 * Q-words:** i have no Q-words.
