Chapter Summaries & Analyses
Jenny sends her condolences to Riley via email and expresses how sad she is that Riley didn’t call her and that she misses her friend. Riley responds, explaining she did call, but her phone was off. Riley explains that Justin’s death seemed personal, and it could have been her brother, but she is trying her best to see it from all sides and be objective. Jenny responds, upset that her friend isn’t on her side, and Riley promises to talk soon. Jenny purposes they hang out and lets it slip that she is having a boy and hopes things will work out and become normal. Riley never sends the email, which says that things cannot go back to normal because a boy has died and she is frustrated that Jenny doesn’t understand that.
Riley turns to Gabby, a friend she made in college who, as a Black woman, understands Riley in a way Jenny doesn’t. During the conversation, Riley realizes that she never talks to Jenny about race although she does with Gabby all the time. She then is called away by her boss to cover a car accident. Before she goes live, she sees an email from her ex-boyfriend, Corey.
