Laurie Bublick asked this question about Commonwealth:
Just finished the book and am having a "fight" with my other friends. I say that Cal died when Caroline shot him to cover up for the fact that he died of a bee sting since he had run out of his Benedryl. Other members felt he died ONLY from the bee sting. Who is correct?
Kristin Yes, the bee sting. I'm not really sure why the gun was introduced at all. Maybe just to give a sense of how reckless the kids were?…moreYes, the bee sting. I'm not really sure why the gun was introduced at all. Maybe just to give a sense of how reckless the kids were?(less)
