Perhaps. And she’s wise enough, and seen enough throughout her life, to understand that.
But as her wise old mum said near the end of the book, you’ll never know which swim you’ll regret until you do it.
She has to go with Jonas, even if it’s a mistake. Even if it hurts people. And as an American (NY, East Coast, swimming obsessed) wife of a Brit who doesn’t even swim as much as Peter, and quite happily married to him, I see through Peter’s charm. He might have seemed her knight in shining armour, but he isn’t her soul mate. I bet Peter and Gina end up hooking up. After all, when she went outside that night, Peter wouldn’t read the poem, and instead was talking with Gina on the couch.
