So the partner definitely cheated on the narrator.
Still not sure whether partner is male or female. Still leaning more towards female.

The chapters are getting much shorter. The partner clearly has family issues and seems to be the opposite of the narrator in most cases.

Story seems to be written after relationship has ended. There seems to be an incident that caused them to break up. I believe it either has to do with cheating or something with money.

So the narrator is definitely a male. Still not sure about partner. Pretty sure is female.

I'm not sure how I feel about this. Still confused. Cute and heartbreaking at times. Very vague with entries.

I'm still not sure of gender because of the whole maralynn thing but I do know that the partner is much more outgoing than the narrator is.

I'm a bit confused about the gender of the narrator and his/her partner. I believe that the narrator is male and the partner is female if the two are straight or bi maybe. (this is based on entry under beware)

A bit confusing but still interesting. Curious to see how the story develops.

Really enjoying this!

"we have fallen through the surface of want and are deep in the trenches of need."

This is a great SAT Vocab practice.

"You were already seeing the rooms as ours, and that was
enough for me. Well, that and a dishwasher." Literally me checking places: if it has a dishwasher I'm happy with it.

"There has to be a moment at the beginning when you wonder whether you’re in love with the person or in love with the feeling of love itself."

It feels like home when you get to do the one thing you love the most. It seems like forever ago since the last time I felt this way. #reading #davidlevithan

I believe your exact words were: "you're getting too emotional".

breathtaking, adj. Those mornings when we kiss and surrender for an hour before we say a single word.

I think I have to reread this afterwards

211 pages of trying to define love and I'm still uncertain of what exactly it means. Also 66, 78, 100, 124, 138, 150, 176, 202, 204, and 210 I wish you gave more clue.
