I think that's doing Laura as a character a huge disservice. Both she and the best friend died in that car crash, not just her. She was one of my favorite characters in American Gods and a big component of the story, considering her actions at the end. She had her own arc about her own death and, to me, it never felt like the story was punishing her for straying while Shadow was in prison. That last bit is up for your own interpretation.

You definitely took away something different from Laura's character arc than I did. To me, she felt like an awkward footnote to Shadow's story instead of having much of a story of her own. Even considering she was one of Gaiman's few female characters with her own perspective, she spent that perspective trying to...find menial work where people didn't notice she was dead. I'm still not sure what I was supposed to do with that. But it's entirely likely I missed something critical in my two readings of the book.
