1045. When was a time that your MC had to say no but wanted to say yes
All the time!
This is YA fiction, you have to read between the lines to see the undercurrent
One of the MCs wants a sex life
The other MC wants a sex life
One of them feels obliged to keep saying no metaphorically
The tension is recurrent throughout the novel
if you read between the lines, there’s humour in the final chapter when the reluctant one changes tune
None of it is overt
