Chapter 13 Summary

At school four days later, Evan cannot stop thinking about kissing Zoe. Alana Beck approaches him and states that people are moving on from Connor’s death; she’s found buttons with Connor’s name left around the school. She implores Evan to do something to make sure people don’t forget about him. Evan refuses at first, thinking he’s not qualified. However, even though he knows he wasn’t as close to Connor as his classmates believe he was, he suspects he’s the only person who had a genuine interaction with him the day he died: “We had an authentic exchange. For guys like Connor and me, that type of interaction is rare, and it definitely forged a bond between us. I’m probably the only one who had any clue how he was truly feeling that day” (172). At home, Evan is inspired by a documentary about photographer Vivian Maier made by the man who discovered her work: “He just cared enough to do something. He made it his mission to make sure that the world appreciated Vivian Maier” (176).
