“I don’t know, maybe there really are people who aren’t one gender or the other. I mean, we can’t read their minds. And lots of folks feel strongly about this, right? They’re lobbying to get the school to teach it in my biology classes. So it can’t just be made up.”
im guessing by the end of this book she’s either gonna be a liberal or they arent gonna be together at all...i’m rooting for both bc nate deserves better than marina

“leo and some indian kid” yeah okay
He’d tried, on more than one drunk occasion, to make things work with Leo. There was a myriad of reasons it was a stupid idea: they lived together, Nate was too pale and un-muscled to be Leo’s type, their friendship was too important. But when Nate stumbled home-
-after particularly bad rejections, it was Leo’s warmth he was drawn to, Leo’s voice that comforted, Leo’s friendship that sustained him. He knew it wasn’t really that kind of affection, for either of them.
idk im kinda hoping leo and nate end up together i meannnn
okay the way the author had nate describe the difference between sex and gender was actually really good...marina was asking conservative questions ab it and nate’s argument was calm and factual and just really good honestly

i’m confused...did she tried to write this as enemies to lovers? cause i’m not seeing it
okay so she’s cuban

nawt leo suggesting nate takes marina on a ski trip and sharing a hotel room...this book is so bad i hate it here
ive already decided it’s getting 1 star...there is no redemption arc for something that brands itself as roneo and juliet meet cancel culture
she seriously just sent him a laughing emoji...i hate her more and more every page that i read
“How would they react to him bringing home a conservative, a woman? He knew they’d be accepting; of course they would! But what if it created a schism where there hadn’t been one before, a feeling of otherness as Nate embraced the less oppressed side of his sexuality?-
-Would they think Nate was “going straight,” abandoning them for societal acceptance?”
i wish i didnt know how to read i truly do

after this he asked himself “how could he explain to them what he couldnt even explain to himself”
idk why you’d have to explain to your friends that you’re seeing a woman when you are openly bisexual but go off i guess

what exactly was the point in adding this ? what does it contribute other than a harmful word ? honestly

the rage that filled me reading this...nate hun dont be an apologist ab this it’s not cute and it’s feeding the patriarchy
okay they literally do not talk about a single thing other than controversial and/or political topics that they mostly entirely disagree on? how are they expecting a relationship to last when it’s built on that
so all of their debates up until now have been actual debates but now they’re starting to argue and it’s boring
