So what’s the deal with Bill’s foster mother? Was she a family friend who took her in or something? They don’t seem to have a particularly close relationship, Bill’s not even out to her it seems? Also, fostering is usually a temporary arrangement before either the fosterer or someone else adopts the child (to the best of my knowledge) so why didn’t Bill get adopted?
I have so many questions.
Pearl’s delivery suggests to me Bill has come out to her foster mum, it just didn’t… stick…
That was my impression as well. The way she said that boys weren’t what she had her eye on—it wasn’t the furtiveness of someone who doesn’t want this person to know, it was the frustration of someone who knows she could divert a pride parade through her living room and not get the message across.
i don’t get why she’s still there as an adult though… i mean i assume its too expensive to move out but can you even stay in the foster care system after age 18? (or whatever age it is in UK)
#also why do we have a black main character who appears to interact with ZERO other poc#I know the %s aren’t the same in UK but seriously?!
She has got her friends in the bar I think, although you don’t really see them
But…I actually kinda wonder if “She grew up with a white and not very attentive foster mother” answers that question…
