IM FREEEEEEEEEEE

maybe i am too influenced by the story beats of heated rivalry and the long game but i've never read the opening paragraph of a chapter and thought "we should be in the other protagonist's head" before until this specific situation

actually let me also say that the sports that are happening specifically in this part of the book are so uncompelling that they're pissing me off too. i wont spoil anything here but like. WHAT

so now you're too chicken to communicate properly right cool makes so much sense

DO WE KNOW ITS OKAY FOR CONFLICT TO LAST MORE THAN 2 PAGES

wish i had a physical copy of this book to slam down after reading "¿por qué no los dos?" for the third time, worst running bit of this book istg

how the fuck is soup a "soggy food". its a liquid with things in it that categorically do not get soggy within the time it takes a normal person to eat it

every time chelsea and ad have any sort of conflict and decide to confront the other about what happened it reads like those sample conversations they put in american girl books about how to handle your middle school friend group

45% of the way in and we're finally starting to get emotionally conflicted about things wow cool. wish we had done this WAY before now

so there actually can't be any conflict in this relationship to build the plot off of of you guys keep a line of communication medically pried open like its getting dental surgery. like okay, AD doesn't like pda and chelsea does, make chelsea keep that to herself as a way of repressing how she really feels so that we can get invested in the fake relationship becoming real
