Summary of chapter 4

Chapter 4 takes place at Sun River, a vacation Resort in Oregon.
James' family vacation was a non-planned, last minute idea, which came from James father, which annoyed him, because he knew it was not for the family, but for his working career.
When they arrived in Sun River, James already disliked the Resort from the first moment; all the SUV's reminded him of Consumer Americans.
One night, when James left his little sister Libby in the main lodge and walked to the lodge where his family lived, he had a dispute with his parents about him being unresponsible.
Another day, while James was snowboarding with his family, he thought about another family trip during the time he was together with Sadie, were he wrote a letter to her.
On another night, he ended up with an 8th grade girl in a locker room, and was close to making out with her, but rejected her in the end.
At the last part of the chapter, James realizes he still loves Sadie Kinnel.

There is also a short 'flashback' from James' point of view from the time his father left the family, which explains his later aggressions to him.
