Quote #1
I've never been comfortable with my body like Hana. (5.46)
Early on, we see how Lena is not only insecure, she's comparing herself to others in an unfavorable light. This is a one-way ticket to Low Self-Esteemville… on the express train.
Quote #2
I'm sure to [Alex] I was only a blurry, in-between face, easy to forget. [...] Just plain, like a thousand other faces you would see on the street. (6.126)
Lena is extremely insecure about her appearance, and this dissatisfaction has overshadowed the fact that Alex has been flirting with her for almost the entire conversation. See what you miss when you're super worried about yourself?
Quote #3
"I'm sick of that [Lena]. [...] Sick of always checking your back, looking behind you, watching what you say." (8.48)
Lena isn't the only one experiencing some dissatisfaction in her friendship with Hana. Hana feels like she's always walking on eggshells because of all Lena's issues—trust issues, fear issues, self-image issues. This isn't exactly the healthiest friendship in the book.
