Status Updates From Atom Heart John Beloved

“I wanted time to slow down and let me keep reliving these moments with Nathan over and over, forever eighteen”

“Whatever happened in the future, I was his first, and that would always be. Huh.”

Seriously, why am I reading this!?😂

“ Dad sometimes calls me his “dreamer,” but he doesn’t say it in a negative way. He always says it with a smile, looking in my eyes like he loves me.”

Well, what can I say here?

“Lousy at math, pretty good with the words, that was me.”

I feel you buddy, seriously!

What the fuck is actually happening right now. Like what the fuck.

Seriously all that cheating is disgusting hands down

Now he’s cheating on Mary with multiple partners, i have to say that’s soooooooo attractive

Yeah what they have is toxic. So ten years for now their best scenario is John getting married while what? Meeting with Nathan is a motel for sex and love while raising a family? What does that even mean?? And he’s like straight with an itch he GOTTa scratch? While he’s married. Man who tf he thinks he is.

Whether I liked john or not, this book is fucking...something.

I don’t know if I actually like John and Nathan together. I think they both are good first time experience and figuring out themselves but...Nathan’s world revolves around John (from what I can see) and it’s tad unhealthy. And John...I think he needs someone older in the mindset, like he feels mature in comparison.

His infidelity is...nah just nah.

I really don’t think I hate John. I think he’s just a kid struggling with accept what he wants in terms of his sexuality and he got startling self-awareness that sometimes comes off as arrogance when I think he’s just stating facts.

I really don’t know if I like John or not. I like his character but I don’t like HIM. Also if seems like a shitty thing to lead on your bestfriend, but also it seems like a confused gay teenager thing to do. I think John likes to think he’s above being that, but he kinda is.

I have mixed feelings about this book. Like technically john i s cheating on his girlfriend, and it seems irrelevant in a good and bad way: good Irrelevant because to him it’s a guy so for him it didn’t technically ‘count’ as cheating, and irrelevantly bad for the same exact reason. John seems like the end game is always ending up with a girl so what happens between this and then is an experiment at best.

Honestly John also got a healthy dose of self-awareness and knows he’s a prick sometimes so that’s good.
