Chapter Summaries & Analyses
When Kevin gets home from babysitting on Thursday night, he finds every member of his family is alone behind a closed door. He starts to think about his lies and about how the only truth he told that week—the one he told Markie about divorce—seemed to go better than any of the lies. On Friday morning he decides to dial back the lying, though he still believes he has everything under control. He starts by coming clean to Katie about his fake illness. He expects her to be grateful for his confession and secretly relieved that he’ll be able to help with the project now. He’s fairly shocked when she reacts differently. Katie tells Kevin the project is already done. Now that she knows Kevin lied, she plans to hand it in as a solo project, rather than sharing the credit. He tries to make excuses, saying it was a kind of joke and that improbable illnesses were on his mind because his best friend won’t stop talking about them. JonPaul overhears everything and gets angry at Kevin too.
