I vaguely remember she had a crush on him, which was part of the reason she accused him (albeit not the main reason); but I’m not sure if it’s explicitly stated in the book or if it’s just the impression I got. It’s been a few years since I read it, so I don’t remember much; I probably should reread it and find out the answer, but I do remember when I read the book I got so angry (I don’t remember ever being angrier about a book than that) so I’m definitely not ready to reread it yet 😅

    I got the impression she was infatuated with him. I think he treated her well not knowing how she felt. I was angry with just about everyone in that book.

    She reminded me of the child in the movie ‘Bad Seed.’ though she wasn’t a serial killer.

    I definitely read it like that, but it’s been a few years so I don’t remember any concrete lines or pages I could point to for support. It’s just the impression I got.
