She's clearly way more into Theo than Luke though. (When she has a private moment with Luke, it's mostly about how surprisingly boring he is after all. Intimate moments with Theo are more frequent and more intense). So in this particular case, the sexuality repressed is strongly implied to be lesbian.
Not really, IMO. Many women tend to be closer to other women they can relate to, than to men in general, and it certainly isn't anything due to repressed lesbianism.
"...female sexuality is not equivalent to a lesbian identity.'
Being a lesbian doesn't take away ones sexuality. Sexual attraction whether with the same gender basically DEFINES ones sexuality.
I think a little of both ... female sexuality, lesbian identity ... I think it's pretty fluid when we're younger ... then we forget ... that's why I think SJ was such a maverick. She tapped into this.
In this book it sure seems like it is 😆
