Suzy's mom entered the room and she automatically starts talking to Amy like if she's known her for ages. They talk and they end up clicking at the speed of lightning. Amy talks to Suzy's mom about her boyfriend and how she loves him. First question Suzy's mom asks is if they both have slept together. Amy was uncomfortable answering, because she has not lost her virginity yet. Suzy's mom takes Amy to a birth control center and gets her birth control. Amy's parents come to visit Amy, to their surprise Suzy's mom is telling them with such happiness that Amy has birth control.

Quotation:
"I would be the sex he had never dreamed of; I would be sex” (Sonnenberg 196).
Reaction:
In this part of the book, this is when Suzy had lost every “love of her life”. This was when she was in recovery and she thought that the best medicine to feel loved is sex. Suzy became an addict and was wild for sex. Until she encountered Christopher, that's when her desires had to be put on hold. Christopher did not give her what she wanted for two weeks, and she was perfectly fine. Suzy learned that there's more to life than sex. Suzy said, “... I would be sex” (Sonnenberg 196). This showed that she felt very powerful with her herself when she was in bed. She felt like royalty, the tone of this is confident and feisty. Suzy learns through Christopher that life doesn't revolve sex, it revolves happiness.
