Part 5, Chapter 17 Summary: “An Unanswered Question”

At nine in the morning, Eva is embarrassed about how she left things with Shane, so she texts him to apologize, and he asks to see her again. After agreeing and inviting him over, she rushes to get showered and ready. However, she’s shocked when she goes to the kitchen and runs into Audre, who she thought would be at school by now. Audre tells her it’s the second-to-last school day and that the school always gives the students this day off.

Eva and Audre haven’t spoken much since their fight at the school, but Eva knows she needs to talk to her daughter. The pair make up, and Eva explains that her expectations of Audre are so high because she wants Audre to have every opportunity that Eva never had. Audre doesn’t understand how she could do better than her mother, who talked her way back into Princeton and became a famous novelist. Eva explains that she was very sick and that she had to explain that to Princeton—and she used that same drive to keep Audre in school. She explains that Shane Hall will be her new English teacher. After seeing the picture of the two of them, Audre asks if Eva likes him.
