I found the honesty around Brister’s relationship to feel like fresh air, and she didn’t hide from sharing everything, even things which may not have been flattering but were real. But the past does not seem so eager to be forgotten and details about all she is escaping from start to reappear, both in her present surroundings and in the ancient records she is uncovering in her new abode. However, Coraline soon realizes that the grass is not always greener on the other side and learns to appreciate what she has. But their hands closed about hers, as she pulled on the big iron door handle, and suddenly she felt strong.Laurel is glamorous, attractive, and seems to have it somewhat altogether after having her baby, Chlöe (with an umlaut over the "o"). She is almost the spitting image of Coraline’s mother, except for the fact that she is taller, thinner, and has black buttons for her eyes.
