3.0

Spoiler The story hit home to me. Being the favorite child seems like everyones dream. Buy often you do things to please your parents even if you dont like it. Even if it makes you unhappy.
I also understand the mothers view where she just wanted her daughter to succeed. Although she had a very specific definition of success. I also understand how she thought she was giving lydia a choice. But really she wasnt if tje result is her feelings being hurt. Its so much to put on a child. 

However, I just thought that the plot was boring where I kept losing focus. Hence the lower rating.
