Summary

When continue reading the book more things starts to unfold itself. So far, Leonard's past starts to be reveal and I learn that he was picked on as a kid just like Finch had. Now, Leonard is trying hard to build a friendship with Finch and which Finch is surprise of. Finch also told more of how much she did not like the way she looks and foolish ways she treid to get rid of the scars. Overly, after reading the past pages, I would like to know why the baby stops crying when he is with Blott.
