Chapter Summaries & Analyses
As they drive up the mountain road toward the house, Cam reflects on the last time he was on that road, driving away from Ashby House, crying and trying to drown out his thoughts with loud music. Now, he hits a rough patch of road that Ruby left purposely uncultivated to keep away the curious. Cam feels claustrophobic and stops at the gate, lost in thought until Jules prompts him. They drive through the gate, and Camden feels like he’s succumbing to Ashby House.
Jules falls in love with Ashby House the moment she sees it—Cam, however, just looks weary and guarded. As they get out of the car, Jules is surprised that Nelle, Ben, and Libby aren’t there to welcome them, but Cam isn’t. A white Audi races up the driveway, nearly hitting them before coming to a stop. Libby McTavish gets out of the car. Jules recognizes Libby because Jules began following her on Instagram after she and Cam started dating. Cam doesn’t know Jules follows Libby—he might ask uncomfortable questions about things she doesn’t want to explain yet.
Although at first Libby looks perfect, Jules can see the imperfections up close, like the coffee stain on her white jeans and her flaking makeup.
