Mare's Summary of Chapter 1-2

At first we were introduced to Laura Stone, a college professor who teaches Dante's poem about hell. We all get the feeling that she is doing something wrong, which is later confirmed in that chapter where we find out that she is having an affair with one of her students. It then goes to Trixie and Daniel Stone, father and daughter. There are obviously is some sort of tension between them. Trixie then goes through the motions of school, where we learn that her boyfriend whom she loved broke up with her, and that she has kept it a secret from her family. Readers definitely see that she still has feelings for him when she breaks down in the middle of class when Jason(her ex) is present. Zephyr her best friend is introduced, and she has a plan so that Trixie can get Jason back. She lies to her dad and escapes to her friends party.
