If Only Chapter 48 Summary

Words and Letters

  • Corinna hangs out at Nicole's house. They make necklaces.
  • Corinna feels sad, because normally she would have given hers to her mom; she decides she'll give it to Aunt Jennifer instead.
  • She goes to read more of Sophie's journal that night, but she comes to the last page: Sophie says she's not very good at journaling—music is her journal.
  • Corinna wonders if Deborah ever got any of those letters from Sophie's friends.
  • She calls and asks, and Deborah says she did. She brings them over.
  • Corinna asks if Deborah has read them, but Deborah says she hasn't—they're for Corinna's eyes only.
  • Corinna hopes there won't be any more bombshells. And there aren't—Sophie's friends have nothing but good things to say about her.
