Chapter Summaries & Analyses

Part 2, Chapter 31 Summary: “Beet Juice 2”

In the present day, Enchanted starts to come to her senses in Korey’s apartment as the police knock on the door. She looks at Korey’s “slumped-over body. His eyes are closed. Maybe for good. I hope for good” (127). She wonders what she has done.

Part 2, Chapter 32 Summary: “On God”

Back in the recording studio, Korey and Enchanted start planning for the tour. Enchanted marvels at how “Korey’s words are always so sweet, thoughtful” (129), and how she can’t imagine being with a boy after being with a man. Korey locks the door and turns the music up, and Enchanted’s mother bursts through the door, demanding to know why it was locked. Korey distracts her by promising her tickets to Mary J. Blige’s Christmas show, and “Mom’s shoulders relax, her face smoothing” (132).

Part 2, Chapter 33 Summary: “Once Upon a Dream”

The tour begins, and Enchanted tries to stay in touch with her family. Her father and Gab won’t talk to her, and Enchanted notices that Korey “hang[s] out with the dancers” (135) many nights. Korey knows that Enchanted is jealous, but distracts her by calling her his “little secret [he] don’t have to share with no one” (136). Enchanted relaxes into Korey’s love, but wants to know when they will start working on her album.
