Late to the Party: I Feel You, Codi

I finished Kelly Quindlen's Late to the Party a couple of months ago and I remembered I wrote down some notes about it. Sort of a reflection as I was reading through it's page. So these are short notes, not a review.

• I feel with Codi.
• Her introversion
• Not wanting to go to parties (even her friends will be there)
• Feeling alone with friends sometimes (this made me heavily remember high school)
• Only having a small circle of friends or acquaintances
• But her experience of being queer is different from mine
• Maybe because the story is Western?
• Never been in a high school party (medj burgis sila)
• But if I ever did, will I know other people?
• Will I talk to the? Will they talk to me? Or will I just walk myself home after five minutes?
• Will be pissed at friends for forcing me to join but will save them when they're in trouble (I intensely feel about this but I'm glad my circles don't force me to join in events I don't really wanna be in. Or maybe they just really don't care. LOL. Nah. It's better to think that they really respect my boundaries.)
• But Codi had thought of exploring the other side (the parties, the more-than-introversion cliques). I don't. Well, sometimes, but in a different way. Not through parties or socializing.
