Tyler Down
Courtney Crimsen is the fifth name on Hannah’s list. She offers to help Hannah identify the person taking pictures of Hannah through her bedroom window. After they work together to discover that it’s Tyler, though, Courtney keeps her distance from Hannah, leading Hannah to realize that Courtney values her reputation of being a nice person more than she values actually maintaining a friendship. Courtney later asks Hannah to go to a party with her, but Hannah quickly realizes Courtney is just pretending to be friendly so that Hannah will give her a ride. Courtney is another person who spreads rumors about Hannah being overtly sexual, which further increases Hannah’s distrust of everyone around her.

Cassette 3: Side B
Quotes
Right then, in that office, with the realization that no one knew the truth about my life, my thoughts about the world were shaken.
Like driving along a bumpy road and losing control of the steering wheel, tossing you—just a tad—off the road. The wheels kick up some dirt, but you’re able to pull it back. Yet no matter how tightly you grip the wheel, no matter how hard you try to drive straight, something keeps jerking you to the side. You have so little control over anything anymore. And at some point, the struggle becomes too much—too tiring—and you consider letting go. Allowing tragedy… or whatever… to happen.
