Is their flashback in this story?

At several points in A Million Little Pieces, flashbacks give details about James's past. A flashback looks back to action and events that happened before the story at hand began. Most of James's flashbacks revolve around his relationship with his ex-girlfriend, including how they met and how the relationship ended. James has other flashbacks as well, including memories of his eighth-grade friend Michelle whose death he was blamed for and of a priest in Paris whom James beat—possibly to death.
