Though Jessie learns little about Xander over the course of the novel, through her conversations with Ethan posing as SN, she does learn that he died suddenly and his death took a major toll on Ethan and Xander’s mother. His death shook Ethan’s world, and since Xander’s death, people suspect that Ethan is also dangerous and abuses drugs.
