The book finishes by Lia going to Elijah's house because her dad kicked her out and her mom does not want to pick her up. Lia tells Elijah everything that is going on. She shows him all the scars and blood on her body from her cutting. Lia later ends up fainting because of the lack of food that she hasn't eaten. She later sees and talks to Cassie's ghost for the last time. Lia apologizes for not answering her calls when she was about to die. This was the last time they talked. Afterwards, Lia ends up in the hospital for 10 days because her heart had stopped but she thankfully she was ok and recovered. Lia goes to a treatment place and gets extra help to recover from her depression. She continues to see Cassie's ghost but she no longer talks to her. Lia ends the book by improving in her eating disorder and being in a better relationship with her family members.

As I finished the book I noticed that there was an Again and Again moment throughout the whole book. Lia always seem to feel guilty about the death of her friend Cassie. The scene of Cassie killing herself always flashes back to Lia's mind. "....body found in a motel room, alone..." "Lia is not available. Please leave a message when you hear the beep." "She called me thirty three times". All these text pieces from the book seem to go through Lia's head again and again. I think that this is what affects Lia the most and she blames herself for it all the time.
