Quote 1
"Because it means that nobody is better than anyone else for once," Amy said. "Because ever since we became friends all I've done is try to compete with you and keep up with you. […] For the first time in three years I feel like I don't have to keep up with Laurie Saunders and people will still like me." (14.8)
In this moment, Laurie's suspicions about Amy's true feelings are confirmed. Without getting to know Amy better than we do in the novel, it's difficult to analyze why a beautiful, smart girl like Amy is so insecure. What are your thoughts?
