Susie had to cope with her own death and the fact that she had to move on. Lindsey and Buckley had to cope with their sister’s death, their mom moving away, and their family falling apart.

The movie shows that special moment in a more appropriate manner, with a kiss. The book leads to Ray and Susie doing more than just kissing. Another example of how everyone gets what they deserve is Lindsey; she had to deal with her sister’s death and her family falling apart. She was compensated by getting her prince charming, Samuel Heckler. A perfect example demonstrating that everyone gets what they deserve is Mr. Harvey. Mr. Harvey killed many innocent girls.

Everyone dies.” this demonstrates how Holly knew that everyone gets what they deserve. And Mr. Harvey did get what he deserved, death. Just like Mr. Harvey through Susie’s remains down to the sinkhole, Mr. Harvey fell down a cliff. He was hit by an icicle, which was manipulated by Susie, and then he fell down the cliff. At the end, even if it takes long, everyone gets what they
