I feel like the relationships with many people in this book, aren't as a good as they should be. I feel as the book goes on, things will get better. If Conrad keeps going to his therapist, i think he will find love in himself, and repair a lot that was lost. I think Conrad will try and see his mothers point of view more. He already has a pretty good relationship with his dad, so i think it can only get better from here. I think that Calvin will realize that he needs to stop drinking, to keep his family together.
