If Only Chapter 30 Summary

Happy Birthday

  • Corinna's birthday is at the end of February, and she can't imagine celebrating without her mom.
  • She asks if they could celebrate with Aunt Jennifer, so her dad and Aunt Jennifer talk, and it's on—they're going to California.
  • Corinna's psyched. She's also hungry. She asks her dad what's for dinner, and he suggests breakfast.
  • Corinna's sick of that, though—they've been having it twice a week for months—so instead, she makes grilled cheese and tomato soup.
  • Over dinner, she asks her dad if she's going to get cancer, and he tells her no. He says her mom's situation was unusual.
  • She asks how, and he says it just was.
