Relationships
Grace
- "She'll understand work comes first when she's older and has her own responsibilities."
- —Blaire about Grace in Book 2, Chapter 7
Grace, a character in Endless Summer, is Blaire's daughter. They have a very distant relationship because of Blaire's commitment to her work. Grace is terrified of disappointing her mother since Blaire only expects best results and nothing Grace does ever seems good enough for her. In Rules of Engagement, Book 2, Blaire is seen leaving Grace a message where she asks Grace to call her before she gets on a flight. This is likely the ill-fated flight that takes Grace to La Huerta.
Mason
Mason is Blaire's ex-husband.
Bookish Sister
Blaire used to be Bookish Sister's idol who therefore was enthusiastic to get an internship at Blaire's company in London, with Blaire as her direct boss. During the internship, she had the option to impress Blaire with her work. However, she started seeing Blaire for the person she was, how much Blaire and her daughter Grace grew upart. Bookish Sister then decided to leave the internship to rejoin the cruise as she didn't want to become like Blaire.
