Chapter 22 Summary

June arrives at the party in the woods but watches from a distance. Greta is there with the other theater students, and everyone appears to be drinking. A boy named Ben approaches June, compliments her boots, and asks if she’d like to take a walk.

As they walk through the woods, Ben comments on the howling dogs. June remarks that they could be wolves, and Ben takes out a Dungeons & Dragons die, rolls it, and sends June on a quest to find the wolves. They walk through the woods together as Ben tells June about Dungeons & Dragons.

When they return to the bonfire, the party is dying down, but Greta is not there. June searches, finally finding her passed out beneath June’s own special tree. Walking home, she half-carries Greta, who reminisces about when she and June were close but then changes the subject to her disapproval of June’s relationship with Finn.

At home, with Greta in bed, June’s mother tells June how glad she is that the sisters are spending time together once again.

Chapter 23 Summary

June finds four cassette tapes in the bag Toby has given her. Each is a different version of Mozart’s “Requiem”; she recalls listening to each with Finn.
