Quote #1
According to scientists, there are three stages of love: lust, attraction, and attachment. And, it turns out, each of the stages is orchestrated by chemicals—neurotransmitters—in the brain. (104)
Pro tip: “My neurotransmitters are orchestrating strong chemical reactions in my brain in response to your presence” is way less romantic than “I love you.”
Quote #2
I'm about to go when something makes me take a final look around. I know it's not possible to feel a specific person's presence. More than likely my subconscious spotted him as I was walking through the lobby. People use poetic language to describe things they don't understand. Usually there's a scientific explanation if you only look for it.
Anyway, there he is.
He is here. (121)
Nicola Yoon probably didn’t do this on purpose, but it’s slightly humorous that Natasha says, “Usually there’s a scientific explanation if you only look for it”...because she only looks for that one and refuses to consider any other explanation that doesn’t involve science.
Quote #3
The more I talk to him, the cuter he gets. I even like his earnestness, despite the fact that I usually hate earnestness. The sexy ponytail may be addling my brain. It's just hair, I tell myself. Its function is to keep the head warm and protect it against ultraviolet radiation. There's nothing inherently sexy about it.
"What are we talking about again?" he asks.
I say science at the same time that he says love, and we both laugh. (83)
It’s adorable how hard Natasha’s trying to talk herself out of liking Daniel. We’d hate to see her idea of an effective hair commercial. L’Oreal: Because there’s nothing inherently sexy about you or your hair, but your luxurious tresses will keep your head safe from UV rays.
