Bitter End Compare and Contrast

     Bitter End by Jennifer Brown has many similarities and differences from a previous book I read called Remember Me by Romily Bernard. One similarity that these two books have is that both main characters in the book don't have a mother. Wick's mom died as well as Alex's mom. Both of these characters wanted to know what happened to their own mom. In the book Bitter End by Jennifer Brown it stated, "Pressing my fingers lightly against the necklace under my shirt, I scurried back behind the counter and resumed wiping trays, daydreaming a little about Colorado. Bethany and Zazk and I had been planning this trip since we were eight years old, back when Zack's mom still called us the Terrible Three. It started out as my idea—go to the place my mom was headed when she died and see if I could figure out what was there that was so important to her that she would leave her family the way she did." This explains how Alex's mom died. She wants to know why her mom would could off to Colorado to see if she could figure out why her mom left her this way. According to the book Remember Me by Romily Bernard it states, "He scared her enough to commit suicide?' Same shakes her head hard. 'Not suicide.' 'She jumped off a building, Sam. That's called suicide.' 'You seen the tape?' Her eyes fix on the bottle and I draw it away, watching how she watches it. 'What tape?' 'The security tape. I haven't seen it either, but I was told all about it. Those policemen never figured out who else was up there, but she wasn't alone.' Same runs her tongue over her cracked lips. 'Sia didn't jump. She was pushed." This explains how Wick also lost her mom just like Alex did. Wick's mom died and she also wanted to know what happened to her mom.
     Other than similarities these two characters had differences as well from each other. They both wanted to find out what happened to their mothers but in different ways. Wick found out what happened to her mother by hacking and investigating. She watched interviews of her mom and found out truths about her mom she never knew. Alex however found out what hapoened to her mom by actually going to Colorado where her mom was heading. She wanted closure and to let go of the past. So those were some similarities and differences between these two books.
