Quinn’s Father
Jill is Paul and Guzzo’s cousin. She attends Springfield Central High, and is known for throwing great parties. Quinn has a crush on her. Jill is independent and strong-minded; despite growing up in the close-knit Galluzzo family, she refuses to support Paul after Rashad’s arrest and becomes one of the key organizers of the protest. She and Quinn develop a close friendship over the course of the novel, and she inspires him to let go of his fears about participating in activism.

7. Monday: Quinn
Quotes
“I mean, it's Paul. This is the same guy I’ve seen carrying my mom up the front steps, for God's sake.” I was thinking about that time Ma got trashed because it was her first wedding anniversary without Dad. Paul had been so
gentle. He'd taken the frigging day off just so she didn’t have to spend it alone. “She was tanked,” I said to Jill. “And he helped her home. I remember him putting her down on the couch and pulling the afghan over her.”
“Paulie's always been the good guy.”
“That's what I want to think.”
