How we cite our quotes: Chapter, Paragraph
Quote #1
I can't break up with Graham today, even though I told my friends I'd do it the next time I saw him. So instead, I'm hiding in my bedroom, setting up my new computer while he plays Ultimate Frisbee in the park across the street. (1.1)
Right away we see Emma hiding from her dreams—in this case, her dream of single-don—in the present. We also see her using her computer to do so… for the first of many times.
Quote #2
"Here's the thing," I say, taking in a breath. "In the future, you're married to Sydney Mills."
Josh's mouth hangs open.
I open the car door. "We're going to be late." (7.31-33)
Marrying Sydney Mills is everyone's dream, but she's so hot that nobody like Josh would plan on that dream becoming a reality. Here, though, Josh finds out that dreams really do come true. Or at least this dream does… though he doesn't hold onto it forever.
Quote #3
I personally have never had sex. It's not like I'm waiting for love because who knows if that will ever happen, but it always felt like I would be giving too much of myself to a guy. Like Graham. I definitely wouldn't want him to be the one I lose my virginity to. (11.4)
At track practice, Emma thinks about her plans for sex, and while she may not always make the best decisions, she's definitely in control of this one. Which is great, because this decision has the potential to be a real deal-breaker—it could end up being a dream come true or a big mistake.
