Chapter 9 Summary

Content Warning: This section of the novel includes discussion of disordered eating and addiction.

Aaron goes to visit Bree, who has been hospitalized because of an infected snake bite. Bethany is with her, and Aaron is struck by the twins’ differences. Bethany looks older and more haggard than her sister. She leaves the room to find a nurse, and Bree reveals that because Bethany has only recently gotten her addiction under control, the nurses will not leave medication in the room. 

Bree explains that she got the group lost because one of the local kangaroo trails was wide enough to seem like the main trail. She says that everyone was upset when they were unable to find their camp. Because their food was waiting in a lock box at camp, there was no dinner for the group. They found a cabin the next day, but Bree says that Alice hadn’t wanted to stay there and had set out alone, after which Lauren ended up getting the remaining women back to the main road. Lauren and Alice attended the same outdoor adventure high school years ago, and both women did well in the bush.
