However, the novel’s true depth is revealed in its refusal to provide a neat resolution. Margaret tries on religions like outfits throughout the book. She attends a temple, a church, and a confession. She finds them all lacking. The adults in the novel, often hypocritical or overbearing, fail to provide the answers she seeks. Her grandmother, Sylvia, offers unconditional love but is tied to a Jewish identity Margaret isn't sure she can claim. Her parents are largely useless, their neutrality a source of friction rather than comfort.

The ending is remarkably mature. Margaret does not find a religion. She does not find a clear answer to "Are you there?" Instead, she finds a relationship. She realizes that God is not necessarily found in the institutions she visited, but in the private space of her own consciousness. The final conversation with her mother—acknowledging that growing up is hard—validates her struggle without minimizing it.
