Anna- Anna is the main character of the book, who recently got into a car accident that killed her brothers girlfriend and injured her best friend Ellen. Anna feels very guilty for her brothers girlfriend's death, however, the accident was not her fault at all. Anna feels a tension between her brother and her and she doesn't know exactly how to talk to him or how to handle the situation at all. For example, on page 139, Jack says to Anna: "You didn't kill Cameron." This shows that Anna shouldn't beat herself up about her death because there was nothing she could do about it. Overall, Anna is doing the best she can to cope with the hardships that have come her way, but it's a long road of recovery for her.
Jack- Jack is Anna's brother and he is a very important part of this book. He just recently lost his girlfriend in a car accident, and it just so happens that his sister was in the other car, and survived. Jack is doing the best he can to be calm about this situation for his sister because he knows how hard it must be for her to handle all this. For example, on page 162, Cameron is brought up in a conversation between Anna and Jack. The conversation consists of what Cameron planned to do with her future. Anna doesn't like talking about Cameron to Jack but she tries her best to be strong for her brother. Jack ends up getting choked up and telling Anna to leave the room, so she can't see him cry for the girlfriend that she took away from him. Overall, the accident has effected Jack the most and I think it will take him the longest to fully recover from it.
