Summary
Although Aster and Ellie promise to meet again in a few years, time flies by when you're busy figuring out how to turn your life into a series of bold strokes, and it's easy for promises to fade into little more than beautiful memories.
Ten years later, they finally reconnect at their ten year high school reunion.

Summary
Aster Flores is fourteen years old when she decides that she does not like girls.
It’s sort of unsettling, sometimes, the way her chest tightens, how her hands get clammy and how she starts to feel lightheaded, how time seems to stand still when she sees a pretty girl – it’s like a trap, a mess.
There’s nothing wrong with people who do (contrarily to what her father might say at mass), Aster just doesn’t.
//
or: Aster from ages fourteen to twenty-two, slowly discovering herself.
And Aster and Ellie reuniting after a few years, eventually.

Summary
She’s still two days from Iowa when it happens. Her phone buzzes, and it’s not one of the fifty-or-so identical pictures of sauce that Paul insists is drastically different from the last. It’s not the daily check-in from her dad, either.
DiegaRivero: So, any idea what you’re majoring in? I don’t see the “Heathen” track listed on the catalog

Bookmark Notes:
the great thing about ‘the half of it’ is its open ending left so much room for the characters to grow, so many ways for their stories to develop, for them to find their place in the world and in each other’s lives. a lovely homage to making bold strokes.

She heads South. Ellie heads East. They’re just two people on a perpendicular line who may never come back around to meet again.
Aster tries to be okay with that.

Bookmark Notes:
i loved ‘the half of it’ for the wonderful coming of age story that it was, but sometimes you just want the girl to get the girl. this took ellie’s “see you in a couple of years” and gave both aster and ellie the room to grow before finding each other again, featuring good ol’ best boy paul. and his sausages.
