Nick has an unbelieveable connection with a girl named Sheeni, it was as if when he first saw her he just knew, somewhere deep down in his mind that he was going to end up feeling this way about her and her feeling the same way for him. I mean at first Sheeni made it seem that she was totally repulsed by him and that she wouldn't even have thought about ever being so close with him, but now its as if she is repulsed by the fact of not being able to see him every waking moment, and it just relates to A LOT of things that happen to teenagers.
I haven't gotten that far into the book but I am already in love with it, despite maybe sometimes it goes too far into detail about Nick's thoughts and stories about his mom and her "boyfriend". It basically goes deep down into the mind of a teenage boy, and it really shows you another side of people that maybe, you don't think of when you see people, you would never think that some kids that are as young as 14 would even come close to be thinking things that Nick Twist would be thinking of. maybe its the hilarious comments he has about his mothers boyfriend or the cute details about his long distance "romance" with Sheeni.
Youth in revolt somewhat reminds me of the movie that we are watching in class which is Romeo and Juliet, because of the family issues, and the love, and many other themes between these two stories. In my mind I think its similar, because they clinged when they first met and then they immediately fell in love and their taking it very fast just as in the movie romeo and Juliet are doing, and when we were discussing the movie someone had mentioned that romeo's parents are more layed back and Juliet's parents are clingy and protective but she doesn't really care and sorta disreguards them, and it really reminds me of a teenage version of how Romeo and Juliet would be in our times.
