Summary
“You brought a book?”
“Like you didn’t.”
She concedes the point and digs a paperback out of her clutch—Austen’s Persuasion, a good choice. Jess displays his own masticated copy of Tobias Wolff’s Old School, which feels like a consistently fitting read when encased within the two-hundred year old hallowed halls of Chilton Preparatory. The book’s cover is hanging on by Scotch tape and a prayer, and half the pages are creased with undone dog ears.
“Man, we’re a couple of anti-social freaks,” Rory declares.
Jess grins. “Just call me Thomas Pynchon.”
or: the one where jess goes to chilton.

Summary
Paris navigates the perils of being a high schooler with a gay crush on her best friend (not that anybody's bothered to give her the memo on that one), all the whilst trying her hand at dating boys, namely one Tristan Dugray, which goes about as well as you'd expect.
Societal convention is a bitch.
