Summary
In this section of the book Susie talks about the camera her parents gave her for her birthday. She talks about how she had a certain amount of film and she used it all. Her parents told her that it would cost to much to get them all developed at once so her mother told her to think about which ones to send and which ones to hold back. Her mother had left so she could clear her head but her leave, that was aid to be temporary, felt more like permanent. Her grandmother Lynn had called and told her father Jack that she was going to come and stay with them for awhile. It seemed to her that Jack could use some assistance with Buckley and Lindsey.
Ruth, a girl that Susie had brushed hands with before she went to the in between (a place between heaven and earth), had gotten hit and passed out. Susie temporarily had gone into Ruth's body and was able to talk to Ray again. Ray is the boy she likes. She was able to get the kiss she wanted and ended up making love to him too. The her time was up and she had to go back to heaven.

Reaction
When I read this line in the book it kind of caught me off gaurd. I was amazed that Susie would say this. This was the list line in the book and it made me feel complete. Also it made the book to me feel like it ended and there was nothing left unanswered.
