Side Note

In Chapter 16, Stuckey says "I thought, 'Oh why didn't I get his parents' phone number and call them myself?'" and it almost hurts to think that if he had just 10 little numbers, Chris would be alive. Unhappy, probably, but alive. His parents would definitely try to mend the relationship and Eventually all would be well, but no phone call was made. Makes you think about how very small things have the potential to make a huge impact.
