Sasha is one of the main characters of the book, one to which time was not kind. Sasha is introduced in the second chapter, where we learn that her father's abandonment had a bigger impact on her than she leads on. Sasha turns to therapist to help her solve her problems, one of them being her tendency to steal objects from people and later on to get over her drug addiction. The book begins and end with chapters relation to Sasha, perhaps showing the importance in the ongoing theme of time, and how it is not kind to people. It could be said that Sasha is that one friend everyone has, the one that seems to have everything put together and even the one that helps you have everything together , but in reality is a wreck.
