NO! Just because you love your child does not excuse you from the responsibility of raising them. At the end, she forgives them for their shitty parenting. My main issue with this book were Tessa's parents. The author intentionally made Tessa undisciplined to convey the message that it doesn't matter if you don't get caught, because your own conscious will arrest you. I do not condone Tessa's actions, but I find it ridiculous when readers condemn Tessa for being that way. Tessa is extremely flawed-she lies and cheats and steals. She is instructed to watch and analyze each memory so that she can find the answer to her Question. Tessa is given a shopping bag filled with items from the mall, items that each represent an experience that has shaped her. After being hit by a dodgeball, Tessa finds herself at the mall (she's in a coma and so her subconscious generates the environment she's most familiar with).
