Part 2, Chapter 22 Summary: “Do You Believe in Life After Love?”

When Jack regains consciousness, he’s sitting on the stairway at the college party where he first met Kate four months ago. He’s at that same party, and Kate comes down those stairs just like last time. Jack remembers everything, but Kate doesn’t know him.

Part 2, Chapter 23 Summary: “Remind Me How I Know You”

Jack and Kate’s second “first-time” meeting is slightly different from the first but very similar, including witty banter and bonding over shared awkwardness. Kate asks if she knows Jack from somewhere because, as she says, he looks at her as if he’s been doing it his whole life. She takes him to her favorite spot in the gorges that night, and he asks her to prom under the stars.

Part 2, Chapter 24 Summary: “Cereal Killers”

Early the next morning, Jack and Kate go to a grocery store and buy cartfuls of cereal, which they eat in Kate’s dorm room. Then they go door to door around the dorm, giving away the leftover boxes of cereal like they’re royalty, spreading riches among the peasants.
