She is an example of how if there is something wrong, the best thing to do is ask for help.

fired because of the arrest. I can’t believe you did that. Asshole.” (pg 28- book)

She doesn’t face it head-on. Instead, she hides from it, avoiding talking to anybody.
Ev. “I used to be like Heather. Have I changed that much in two months? My goal is to go home and take a nap.” (Pg 24- book)

She can’t determine how she really feels about the situation.
Ev. “I am in the middle of a hostile crowd that hates me for what I had to do. I can’t tell them what really happened. I can’t even look at that part myself. An animal noise rustles in my stomach.” (pg. 28- book)

Ugh. My hair is completely hidden under the comforter. I look for the shapes in my face. Could I put a face in my tree, like a dryad from Greek mythology? Two muddy-circle eyes under black- dash eyebrows, piggy-nose nostrils, and a chewed-up horror of a mouth. Definitely not a dryad face. I can’t stop biting my lips. It looks like my mouth belongs to someone else, someone I don’t even know. I get out of bed and take down the mirror. I put it in the back of my closet, facing the wall." (pdf  17-18)

" We ended up with pounds of candy. After Ivy’s parents went to bed, we lit a candle in the totally dark house. We held it in front of an antique mirror at midnight to see our futures. I couldn’t see anything. " (pdf 33)

" The first thing to go is the mirror. It is screwed to the wall, so I cover it with a poster of Maya Angelou that the librarian gave me. She said Ms. Angelou is one of the greatest American writers. " (pdf 38)

"I look at her mother’s eyes watching me in the rearview mirror and hide my mouth with my fingers. The scabs on my lips are especially gross in that little rectangle mirror. " (pdf 57)

"I hook my hair behind my ears. I should have washed it. My face is dirty. I lean
into the mirror. Eyes after eyes after eyes stare back at me. Am I in there
somewhere? A thousand eyes blink. No makeup. Dark circles. I pull the side
flaps of the mirror in closer, folding myself into the looking glass and blocking
out the rest of the store." (pdf 83)

"I hit the wood against the poster, and the mirror under it, again. Shards of glass slip down the wall and into the sink. IT pulls away from me,  puzzled. I reach in and wrap my fingers around a triangle of glass. I hold it to Andy Evans’s neck. He freezes... His lips are paralyzed. He cannot speak. That’s good enough. "  (pdf 126-127)
