Chapter 5 Summary: “Tyson”

Content Warning: This section of the guide includes discussion of death, racism, substance use, and cursing.

Hannah is subdued and shell-shocked. While Tyson orders pizza, Lainey takes Hannah’s phone and gets Grady’s number. Tyson tells the others that he broke up with Nicole. Lainey says that they should all go on a trip, like the trip the four of them never got to take after they graduated. Hannah claims that she can’t just get away, but Lainey thinks that Grady should repay her for all the furniture she bought for his house, and Tyson thinks that she can sell her engagement ring. Later, Hannah tells Tyson that she’s going to choose Texas as a destination in the hope that Lainey can connect with her sisters. Both Tyson and Hannah are worried about Lainey’s alcohol use and suspect that she is lonely after her mother’s passing.

Chapter 6 Summary: “Lainey”

Hannah’s mother is upset with her for breaking up with Grady. Lainey goes to a restaurant where she has arranged for both Grady and Berlin to meet her. Grady claims that nothing happened when Berlin came to his house, and Lainey pretends that she has a video of them together. Berlin cries, explaining that Grady said things weren’t going well with Hannah.
