When Ruth and Kathy are together and Ruth is dying, Ruth apologizes to Kathy and says "The main thing is, I kept you and Tommy apart, and that was the worst thing I did." (232) I feel so bad for Kathy! I wanted Tommy and Kathy to be together this entire book and Ruth was always in the way. But now, Ruth is admitting that she was just with Tommy to keep Kathy away from him. Ruth's selfish character was very apparent throughout this entire book and this is why I am very surprised that she is actually apologizing for what she did. But, I guess death can make you think about things in a different perspective and I believe that this is what happened to Ruth. I applaud Ruth for what she did. I know that it probably took a lot of strength for her to tell Kathy she was wrong and that it was all her fault. Now, Ruth wants the best for her friends and she wants Kathy and Tommy to enjoy the time they have together.
