Chapter 15 Summary: “Real Life”

At a diner the next morning, the group eats inside to avoid a storm. Sabrina is sullen since they were supposed to go sailing. Harriet assures her the weather will be better tomorrow, and Cleo says just because they’re selling the cottage, it doesn’t mean this is their last trip. When Sabrina still seems sad, Harriet suggests a trick from her childhood: Pick one simple thing she wants so she isn’t disappointed. Harriet did this on her birthdays; something always seemed to go wrong, such as her parents working late or her sister Eloise getting in trouble, so she would pick a specific cake and convince herself that’s all it took to have a great birthday. The others think her story is heartbreaking, but Harriet insists it’s a practical plan that made her happy. Wyn likes her idea for all of them to pick one thing they’d enjoy for the week and be happy to achieve it. They agree to keep their wishes secret until they come true.

Chapter 16 Summary: “Real Life”
