It was funny to have Alissa (Juliet and Elliot's mum) back with her opinionated mouth and it never fails to make me laugh.
We always knew her as being quite judgmental on Juliet but she seems to have moved that onto Elliot, who she previously saw as being unable to do any wrong.
Now that Juliet had Dylan it seems like she approves. But with Sophie being in a really weird way at the moment, his mum was more concerned on why she wasn't at the dinner.
Something else I picked up from that chapter is that there was no mention of Juliet's biological dad - there was no mention of it in conversation.
I am curious to find out if it's just because it wasn't being discussed that night OR if it was because Juliet doesn't speak about it with her parents.
Maybe she's worried it will hurt their feelings that she wants to find out more about it. Or maybe she'd just rather keep it to herself.
Overall, the Lloyd family is one that always has me curious. I think it's sweet that they always do the traditional family dinners, showing they are pretty close. However, at the same time you can also notice a bit of distance between them. There is always a bit of tension and I wonder if that's because of Alissa's need to have an opinion on everything or if there is something else there that we are unaware about.
