What interested me was that Sal and Toby are alike in the not being able to see how certain facts apply to them until it gets spelled out. Even if they aren't alike in many other ways. I felt like Sal's backstory, and the reinforcement of how much she had to learn in 6 years, which meant she was an adult, but without some forms of maturity, made it believable, as did the potential horror of what she was avoiding thinking about.
