 All Love Is Unrequited
 Kiss / int_7a82c3d2
comment
 All Love Is Unrequited: The most cynical interpretation of the book. By the end, you're left with almost all of the characters still struggling with feelings for someone they can't have. Jake has a crush on Sylvie, who is in love with Carl, who is infatuated with Paul, who has a thing for Miranda, who Sylvie wryly notes "doesn't love anyone".

 Betty and Veronica: Sylvie worries she and Miranda are this for Carl, with her as his loyal childhood friend and Miranda as the glamorous newcomer. Turns out, the Veronica she should have been worrying about was Paul.

 Childhood Marriage Promise
 Kiss / int_e195807e
comment
 Childhood Marriage Promise: Carl and Sylvie made one, which Sylvie desperately hopes will follow through. The ending leaves it ambiguous as to how things will turn out - Carl tells her he'll always love her and they kiss, and Miranda points out they can still be together (even if they don't have sex), but Sylvie seems to be accepting nothing will happen.

 Ambiguously Gay
 Kiss / int_e34400ab

 Ambiguously Gay: Paul. He seems to be interested in Miranda and incredibly derogatory about gay guys, but Carl claims that when they kissed, Paul actually kissed him back for a moment and could be treating Carl so badly because he's also struggling with his sexuality in a very anti-gay all-boys high school. Whether this is viable or just Carl being blinded by his feelings is left ambiguous.
