The Girl I Used to Be Chapters 38-42 Summary & Analysis

Chapter 38 Summary: “Something is Coming”

Olivia has tripped over a branch and hits the ground hard. When she tries to get up, she discovers that she has injured her ankle. She is deep in the woods and doesn’t have cell phone service. No one knows where she is, and she only has about 12 ounces of water. She worries about the dropping temperatures as night approaches. She decides to crawl towards her car in the hopes that she’ll get improved reception. As she crawls, she finds a bone, which she believes to be a human finger. Something large starts moving in the woods.

Chapter 39 Summary: “Freckled with Red”

Olivia shouts for help; a surprised man responds. It is Spaulding, the police chief. Her impression of him was positive at the party, so she’s relieved. He says it’s an odd choice for hiking, and she admits that she was curious about what happened to Naomi and Terry. He is surprised when she shows him the bone she found. He marks the spot and offers to carry her to her car; Olivia tries to protest, but he talks her into it. As he carries her, she has a memory flash of being carried through the woods by the killer.
