Who decides to marry Neil?

• A. Lily.
• B. Zach.
• C. June.
• D. August.

Answer: (C)

This question tests how June’s romantic arc develops and resolves. June, one of the Boatwright sisters, grows into a place where she’s ready to commit to a future with someone who respects her and shares her life. Neil is that steady, caring partner, and June’s decision to marry him shows her openness to love again and her belief in building a lasting partnership after the emotional upheavals in the story. This moment highlights themes of healing, resilience, and community support that run through the book.

Lily’s storyline centers on her feelings for Zach, not Neil, and August’s path involves different concerns and not a marriage to Neil, so June’s decision is the distinct choice tied to her character.
