reading this so yall dont have to

okay so on pg 1 weâre introduced to nate and tiffany who are playing hockey i believe ??
literally...
my friend is researching for me trying to figure out if this author is even part of the lgbt+ community but all of her accounts are fairly new ?? and she has another book out with a different name ?? like ??
this is very sus
iâm pretty sure this CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICAN girl is hispanic or latina...someone pls make this make sense
okay not only is the conservative female mc latina or hispanic but her best friend is a conservative half-Vietnamese half-malaysian woman who iâm pretty sure is dating a homophobic angry white boy...what are the odds of this
marina (the woman MC) is also an immigrant
this just gets worse and worse

âI donât know, maybe there really are people who arenât one gender or the other. I mean, we canât read their minds. And lots of folks feel strongly about this, right? Theyâre lobbying to get the school to teach it in my biology classes. So it canât just be made up.â
im guessing by the end of this book sheâs either gonna be a liberal or they arent gonna be together at all...iâm rooting for both bc nate deserves better than marina


âleo and some indian kidâ yeah okay
Heâd 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 Leoâs type, their friendship was too important. But when Nate stumbled home-
-after particularly bad rejections, it was Leoâs warmth he was drawn to, Leoâs voice that comforted, Leoâs friendship that sustained him. He knew it wasnât 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 nateâs argument was calm and factual and just really good honestly
âThatâs like saying wouldnât it be better if we didnât die? Thatâs not the world we live in.â
âPeople can change.â
hmmmm
âPeople can change.â
hmmmm
i dont wanna read ab nate and marina when iâm rooting for nate and leo oof
iâm confused...did she tried to write this as enemies to lovers? cause iâm not seeing it
okay so sheâs cuban
i am on page 50 and they still donât know each otherâs names
pls tell me he isnt gonna go find her at mass


as of current i genuinely have no idea what to think about this book...thereâs a LOT to unpack here and iâm not even on page 100 yet

âTiff and Leo would never understand, and worse, might be hurt by Nate defaulting to a straight-appearing relationship and amassing even more privilege and power.â
literally what even is this book??? this is the second line that is so blatantly biphobic and i canât tell if itâs-
literally what even is this book??? this is the second line that is so blatantly biphobic and i canât tell if itâs-
-the characterâs internalized biphobia or the authorâs biphobia but uhhhh

âim sure jesus would approveâ
of your hate?? i mean im not expert but i dont think so...
of your hate?? i mean im not expert but i dont think so...
i bet ppl like ben thought hitlerâs ideas and words were not dangerous


he literally just told her that pretty privilege is a thing and continues to overlook the fact that sheâs a conservative because sheâs pretty
godddgdgsgshhe this book has so much biphobia in it














i had to take a break from this to watch my comfort show for a little bit
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 itâs 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
âHow would they react to him bringing home a conservative, a woman? He knew theyâd be accepting; of course they would! But what if it created a schism where there hadnât been one before, a feeling of otherness as Nate embraced the less oppressed side of his sexuality?-
-Would they think Nate was âgoing straight,â abandoning them for societal acceptance?â
i wish i didnt know how to read i truly do
i wish i didnt know how to read i truly do
after this he asked himself âhow could he explain to them what he couldnt even explain to himselfâ
idk why youâd have to explain to your friends that youâre seeing a woman when you are openly bisexual but go off i guess
idk why youâd have to explain to your friends that youâre 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
iâm not gonna pretend like the first kiss scene wasnât cute because it was but i still hate it here
okay i retract my further statement ab actually liking tiffany sheâs biphobic too

okay i cant keep my eyes open to read this anymore...i guess weâll see how this ends in the morning

i lied iâm gonna try to keep reading
i think theyâre ab to do /it/

they did it
this book is honestly such a mess
also im pretty sure my nose i bleeding so im gonna blame that on this book too
âDo the Catholics spend as much time on their knees in the bedroom as they do in church?â
my face contorted

my face contorted



tiff FINALLY punched this ben dude in the face and honestly thatâs the only thing i was looking forward to
the rage that filled me reading this...nate hun dont be an apologist ab this itâs not cute and itâs 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 itâs built on that
so all of their debates up until now have been actual debates but now theyâre starting to argue and itâs boring

THE TENSION WHEN NATE IS MEETING MARIâS BROTHER OOP
nate kinda went off on tiff and ben and itâd actually be a good argument for himself if he wasnt trying to defend ben


i forgot this austin guy existed why is he randomly being dropped back into this

âsome compromises are bigger than othersâ
first of all im pretty sure this is plagiarism...idk where but iâve definitely read this line somewhere before
second of all...HUMAN RIGHTS ARENT COMPROMISES















first of all im pretty sure this is plagiarism...idk where but iâve definitely read this line somewhere before
second of all...HUMAN RIGHTS ARENT COMPROMISES

















itâs the fault in our stars...âsome infinities are bigger than other infinitiesâ
maam...
maam...
okay so nate admitted he was testifying as a false witness for tiff against ben and now everyoneâs talkin it our but leo and tiff left and now nateâs disappeared as mari is confessing her love






dear god thereâs an epilogue
I FINISHED IT FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS GOOD I FINISHED THIS FREAKIN BOOK
i hated a lot of things ab this book but i think what i hated the most was the mention of nate being in a âstraight-appearingâ relationship on every other page
being bi and dating someone of the opposite sex doesnt make u any less bi
being bi and dating someone of the opposite sex doesnt make u any less bi
anyways, it ended with them getting back together bc i guess they broke up but after she finally confessed her love to his face they were like
for no reason at all
shes going to CA for the summer and heâs visiting her for awhile or something like that

shes going to CA for the summer and heâs visiting her for awhile or something like that
sheâs still a republican. heâs still a democrat. it was all very bland. terrible book.
