"Yeah, notice how her mom doesn’t enter her thoughts at all? How Nora doesn’t even think about how her mom would feel if she killed herself or if she ran away? Oh, yeah, I can totally buy that this is a romance for the ages, all right."

This just gets worse as the series gets going. Nora is, later in this book, going to leave the house with every intention of moving in with Vee until she can get her own place, because she found out her mom might have had an affair with someone. This is without talking to her mom or even getting solid evidence it happened. And she only gets worse in the subsequent books.
