She was only a bit surprised no one else stopped, no one else pulled to the side and said hey. Everyone always thought everyone else would take care of things.
This says so much about how Tallie feels about the world sometimes...and how she feels about her place in the world. Throughout the book she expresses her need to take time for herself...to be more than just someone who holds things inside...to be more than someone who listens and "fixes" things...instead of letting herself be listened to...or expressing her own desire to be "fixed." So from the very beginning the reader knows that Tallie sees herself as a person who will always stop her car to help someone else...even if no one else does.
