@DaniRose2143 Thank you!
@Kellogg_J_Kellogg I found it the very same as you. There was always this rhetoric of "oh no pressure! You don't have to do it" and yet if you didn't partake you'd be excluded from the fun everyone else was having. I never smoked either, only once when I was about sixteen and I hated the taste so much that I started crying - embarrassing. But there was another time that I tried to do my first shot to impress a boy and got shocked my how strong it was and couldn't finish it in one go, which I also felt was mega embarrassing. I just hadn't accepted that these things weren't for me, and I think that's indicative of that age. Evie goes through it too, only she's more eager to impress than I was, really.

that is such a good point about the cocktails, I honestly wasn't even thinking like that when I wrote it, but it really comes together! I really was just remembering those stupid bars I used to go to in college that had those boutique cocktails and items on the menu with names that are totally unrelated to what ingredients are in it. it always feels like a way to justify a higher price! It does reflect Evie's encounter with Stephen, as he frames himself one way, "I don't want to be one of those weird men." and yet is something else behind it, really, as Evie picks up the vibe that she's not going to get to leave until she kisses him. I suppose that's a pressure she's put on herself too, to push past any lingering feelings she has for Jude, so even if she didn't want to kiss Stephen she would have anyway. She's got everything twisted in her head right now..

you've got it! She can't move on yet, and perhaps nothing else will be good enough until she gets real closure
