Tell the Wolves I'm Home 2 (Pages 90 - 150)


 SPOILERS!!!

June is in a quandary about her attitude towards Toby. Her family think that he killed Finn when he passed AIDs to him. And even June's father hints to her mother that they could report him when he reads a newspaper article about a man who purposefully passed AIDs to a man and a woman. On the other hand, June wants to keep seeing Toby because she wants to know more about Finn. In these encounters she learns that Toby and Finn had a relationship for nine years, and many of the things that she saw in the house and thought that belonged to Finn are Toby's. So she needs to rearrange all the things that she thought were true. 

Greta is busy with the school play, but there seems to be something off about her. When June watches a rehearsal, Greta disappears to talk to the teacher, but then Greta doesn't want to talk about that. Then the teacher recommends her to take part in a musical in the West End, and Greta considers turning down the offer, and it is only because her mother insists that she accepts. 

I find the novel quite interesting in the sense that It is strange taht an grown-up man with no ulterior motives does everything to see a teenager. I think that for Toby June is the only link to Finn, the man he loved, and June is the only one who was likely not to refuse to talk to him. For June it is the same case.
