Chapter Summaries & Analyses
Zuri goes to Madrina’s to seek clarity after her confusing romantic evolution—ditching Warren and kissing Darius. However, Madrina is sick. Madrina sends her to a nearby restaurant, Bushwick Farm, to get her soup. Zuri’s friend Charlise is the hostess at the restaurant. As Charlise and Zuri talk at the hostess stand, Zuri describes the restaurant: “The people who come here to eat mostly are white, mostly are rich, and mostly ignore us as if we’re ghosts” (210). Charlise tells Zuri that the Darcys ate at Bushwick Farm and seemed friendly. Charlise also reveals that she’s dating Colin. Zuri gets the soup and brings it back to Madrina’s. She then gets a text from Darcy.
Darcy and Zuri exchange text messages. Darius apologizes and asks Zuri to give him another chance. Zuri agrees.
Zuri and Darius have their date. He takes her to Williamsburg, a part of Brooklyn she’s never been to, and asks her questions she’s never been asked—like what her favorite food is and what book she’s reading. Zuri describes the date: “I never knew that deep kisses, hand-holding, and small talk could last for so long” (223).
