"So, you're saying I should stop trying?" I feel my heart speed up as all of my excuses align themselves. I don't have time to just let something happen. If, for my whole life, nothing has clicked into place on its own, what's going to make it happen now?
"No," Gladys says, looking me in the eye. "Try as hard as you have to, but try while being yourself. Don't force anything."
I LOVE that this story has a smart, strong protagonist who's a math nerd and swimming champ ... but is also honest about her desire to connect with someone romantically. This books shows that you can be a high achiever along with striving for a deep, meaningful connection with another human--it doesn't have to be one or the other. The most important thing is being your authentic self as you pursue that connection, and I loved that message.
