Ch. 11 Quote 3/15

After telling Lily about her father's affair, Nadira feels weighed down from knowing so much information. Although she feels bad that she upset her friend, I think Nadira was glad to let some of it out. There is a lot of pressure building up inside her because she has too keep her family's struggle to herself, and I think it helped her to let off some steam.
