If Only Chapter 23 Summary

New Year

  • Happy New Year to Corinna… okay, not so much.
  • She's seriously bummed out, and her dad yells at her about how messy her room is and how she never practices the flute.
  • Gigi and Pop Pop come for a visit and Gigi is her usual annoying self; she talks too much.
  • When they finally leave, Corinna and her dad recover with a trip to the grocery store—they're both really sick of living on canned chili.
  • Surprisingly, their taste buds are starting to come back.
  • Even more surprisingly, it doesn't hurt as much to walk past Sophie's favorite foods.
  • They even buy some of her favorite coffee yogurt out of nostalgia, but neither of them eats it.
  • After such a bummer of a winter break, Corinna's actually glad to get back to the bummer of school. She's especially glad to get back to Ms. Carey's sewing class.
  • She has a new project for class: making a quilt out of Sophie's clothes.
