Chapter 13 Summary: “The Manipulator”

Adeline catches a glimpse of what she thinks is Gigi’s ghost walking into the attic. Following her, Adeline demands that the ghost show her what she needs from the attic, and a board falls, revealing two notes. The first note admits to covering up Gigi’s murder, though it is not signed, and the second is the missing page from Gigi’s diary, in which she is about to reveal her murderer. Adeline is frustrated that the diary entry cuts out before the reveal, and she goes back out of the attic to find Z in her yard staring at her.

Z and Adeline exchange a series of texts in which Adeline threatens to call the police and Z threatens to punish her for it. Adeline does call the police, but Z leaves before they arrive. When the police arrive, Adeline repeats her story, but she does not show the officer the text messages, feeling that they are private. Later, at Daya’s, Adeline tells Daya about the situation, speculating that Z may have access to nude photos that Adeline keeps on her phone. She deletes the photos, then reveals to Daya that Z has texted her. Daya is upset that Adeline hid that information from her, but she tries to trace the text messages.
