OK, just to preface this, I’m going with the 15th anniversary update of the book, since I do plan on getting the sequel at some point. I did read the original 2003 edition (once in high school 12-ish years ago, and once like… five? years ago), and I do know that this version has a few parts rewritten to incorporate modern technology and pop culture, but it’s supposedly still the same other than that. It’s been so long since I read the OG version, and the changes work so well, that I honestly can barely tell they’re there.
Also, this is still one of my favorites, even with the dark turn in the middle of the book. But anyway…
So, yeah, we’re really opening with an awkward makeout session. (Also, I know it does get brought up, but Froggy does have a funny name for a human character.)
So, Virginia and Froggy are not-really-friends-with-benefits. And it’s a semi-accidental relationship since apparently Virginia’s apartment is on the way to Froggy’s trombone lessons after school.
And this has only been going on a couple weeks since the start of the school year.
