Rose learns a very important lesson in this book, that there are times when we may feel hurt and sad but others may have it worse then us. Rose felt that she should have reached back when Rachel tried to contact her, but instead let her hurt cloud her actions. We may at times feel just as Rose did, that there may have been something we could have done different, but I feel that if you remember that those around us are just like us, imperfect and in need of friends, we can then reach out with a clearer understanding and become true friends.
