    Bookmarker's Notes

    Shane let a nervous laugh bubble up out of him. “Don’t do that to me,” he said, feeling giddy with the relief of it. Beside him, Rose was coughing in reaction to a sip of wine that must have gone down the wrong pipe.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    nearly impossible to choose a standout section from this. an incredible format and exploration of beating roger crowell to death with a hammer (mr. hockey)

    "But I can’t help but wonder how much of this is Rozanov getting away with something Hollander couldn’t, the way that white people so often can get away with things that people of color can’t."

    The worst thing is that some days nobody says anything. Some days, everything is almost normal.

    Summary

    Shane cups her cheek in his hand, running his thumb over the plush of her bottom lip. She looks at him through her fawnish lashes. He roves his eyes over her body. Her shoulders and biceps, her abs… She's so strong, so…

    Incredible.

    "I've never done that before," he admits, "Not with... with a woman, at least."

    "Right, well," she rolls her eyes, "Would probably be better with a real man, yes?"

    He shakes his head, "No. It wouldn't have been the same at all."

    - - -

    or, Shane comes to terms with his sexuality only to get thrown right back into confusion by Rozanov.

    "Then you have been gay this whole time. Congratulations, Hollander, you have retained your big homo status."

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Most moms don’t know that kind of thing. Most moms who do know that kind of thing aren’t normal about it, the way that Yuna, teeth clenched through the worry about Shane’s safety and scoring stats and advertising performance, is aggressively, assertively normal about it.
