I think so too...on tweaking the title. Something more inclusive to the others or all the situations instead of just that secret.
I think that given the title, Tess's story doesn't seem to fit, because she's only peripherally attached to the main plot.
(On the other hand, the title is why I picked it up in the first place. I had to know the secret!)
No Tess is very important. Her affair led directly to the final accident. None of that would have hsppened before that.
So Tess's entire story is there to get Connor to the oval at that particular time? Seems unnecessary.
IMO Tess's story is interesting. She is the only character to not have a direct connection with Janie's death, but her presence is pivotal (see Sophie's comment) She is connected to the others by the old school and her interaction with the two main women helps to show us their characters and build up the plot. We all live within a wide group of friends and aquaitances and this was reflected in the crafting of the story, which I thought was actually very good.
Hey Catherine I also thought that Tess character was unnecessary but after reading your point of view I second.. that
By including Tess's story, we also got to know more about Connor.
