Ironically, Malcolm's family name is called Fairchild, but he's not really fair to the children. The entire story is mesmerising and thought-provoking. The beginning was captivating, and it ends vaguely well. It's just Elena turns into a different person in the middle of the story, a few inconsistencies here and there and some characters suddenly brighter than before. I don't find any likeable characters in the story. Somehow, it seems like a story of Elena doesn't have a happy school life due to her nerdiness. She wants whatever bad treatments she has coped with will flip back to the unintelligent ones. It happens in her favour, and she treats them like how she was treated. However, her avenging ideas turn into a nightmare when she becomes a mother, and karma hits her daughter.
