As Kenna and Ledger spend more time in each other's orbit, the walls between them — built from loyalty, guilt, and grief — start to show their first cracks. These chapters ask what it means to truly see another person.

Discussion Questions

8 questions

1.Ledger knows who Kenna is before she knows who he is. How does this imbalance of information change the dynamic between them when they interact at the bar? When Kenna finally learns his identity, how does that scene land?

2.Kenna is described by townspeople and bar patrons with hostility and suspicion. How does Hoover manage our sympathies so that we see both why the community feels that way and why their judgment is also insufficient or even cruel?

3.Ledger feels a pull toward Kenna that conflicts sharply with his loyalty to the Landrys. How does he rationalize — or fail to rationalize — that conflict in his internal narration?
