    The most important main characters in my opinion would be Jack, Ellen, Cameron, and most importantly Anna. Jack is Anna’s older brother, who had been dating Cameron for a few months until the accident. Ellen is Anna’s best friend who was in the accident with her. Cameron was coming towards Anna and Ellen on the opposite side of the road. Cameron tried to dodge a tree branch that was lying in the middle of the road. In the process of doing that, she hit Anna and Ellen head on. Ellen was completely passed out, and all Anna heard was screams, getting softer until they just quit. The screams were Cameron until she died. Anna is definitely the ultimate main character in my eyes. This book went on to explain how Anna went on with her life, knowing she technically killed someone. Anna had a rough time between night sweats, night terrors, and the screams in her head repeating. That is when Ellen’s and Anna’s parents agreed it was time to take a getaway trip to the
