“Thinking about history makes me wonder how I’ll fit into it one day, I guess. And you too. I kinda wish people still wrote like that. History, huh? Bet we could make some.”
In preparation for the movie release, I really wanted to give this book a reread. The movie might not have been the shit, but this book is. Henry and Alex together are just the best couple ever. Their interactions just gave me the butterflies and I kind of stopped caring about the election and everything that went on apart from their story. And I just love how they kinda fall into their relationship without giving it much thought. Alex’s “coming out” was so comforting and just gave me so much hope that more of us are experiencing it like that. All the support they got when they were at the palace after shit hit the fan? It really made me cry all the way through the scene. Plus: We all know that the possibility of Texas being a democratic state are close to not existent, but let’s face it; It was a great ending and who knows? Maybe? Probably not, but maybe.
It’s just a cute read, especially now in the summer. I was just really disappointed that I didn’t like the movie, especially because the actors in the interviews had so much chemistry.
