Relationships

Your Character

They seem to have a banter-filled relationship (as far as we can tell), this is shown in Chapter 1, when Your Character is driving home from New York and Mom says that she knows we would never miss Christmas again (implying that Your Character missed it last year). If Your Character doesn't choose to pursue any of the potential love interests, she will spend more time with Linda: they can go on a carriage ride in Chapter 8, and dance together at the party in Chapter 10. They get along very well.

Dylan Joy

Dylan is her adopted son. Not much is known of their relationship, but it can be implied that they have same sort of relationship Your Character has with her.

Charles Shepard

Charles and Linda have feelings for each other and it's possible for your character to encourage them to develop their relationship. If she does, they will start dating at the end of the book.

Trivia

In Chapter 1, she is referred to as your and Dylan's "adopted mother" instead of your adoptive mother, which implies that you adopted your mother.
She shares the same forename as Linda Ortega from The Sophomore series and Linda Jennings from My Two First Loves.
The name Linda is of German and Latin origin, which means: Lime tree, linden tree, flexible, soft, mild (German); beautiful, cute, graceful (Latin). It's also considered an abbreviation of the Greek name Melinda (which means "honey" or "gentle") and the German name Belinda (which means "pretty"). Belinda is originated from the Old German "Bentlindis", from where the word for snake is derived.
