I'm Not Her part 2

I am still reading "I'm Not Her". Kristina and Tess are siblings. They are pretty close and life has always gone on as normal until an unexpected awful thing happened. Kristina got cancer. This affected the whole family. They all started blaming each other and that is not good or healthy for the family. Also the cancer affected Tess' friend life. Tess doesn't have many friends but she does have one named Melissa. 

Kristina is a really likable person. She's smart and pretty and has a nice laugh. Everyone likes her and her parents are obsessed over her. When something so awful and upset happened they would never blame Kristina and they have no choice to blame each other. The mom turned to the dad and blamed him and his family history of disease and the dad blamed the mom for not turning In Kristina to the doctors earlier. The whole idea of Kristina having cancer in the first place tears their family apart. 

A similar situation occurred with her best friend Melissa. They really only have each other. They are best friends and best friends tell each other everything. But when your sister asks you to keep such a big secret..you do. Of course Tess didn't tell Melissa but it was hard because Tess was upset and she couldn't tell Melissa why. That got Melissa mad and they got in a fight which just made everything worse

When you find out bad news sometimes you don't know how to react. You want to blame others when it really wasn't their fault at all. It was no ones fault and when something so tragic happens you build so much anger up inside you you need to take it out on someone. And people chose their families because they are the ones they love the most.
