the first kiss hypothesis is simple. kiss a guy and if it's the right guy you'll know from the kiss.
nora is into science and facts and biology and controlling the outcomes in her life to minimize hurt and heartbreak. it's a noble goal. it's also incredibly naive and short-sighted. her big problem with her hypothesis is that she's had to endure a lot of bad kisses. but the worst one was the one she sprang on her best friend, eli, when they were in the eighth grade. she had a huge crush on him. and if he turned out to be the one it would have been perfect.
but this kiss was so poorly timed. and it was so terrible. and for nora it was clear, eli wasn't the one.
eli feels differently about the kiss. not about how terrible it was. but about its significance in determining whether or not they were right for each other. since that kiss he's had to endure nora kissing every other guy. and it's their senior year and it's looking like they won't even be going to the same school. and eli realizes it's his last chance to change nora's mind about this hypothesis and give him a second chance.
nora and eli's friendship is a beautiful thing. and i really enjoyed reading about them together. but between nora's hypothesis and eli's semi-terrible plan you kind of want to knock their heads together. literally everyone else in this book knows that nora and eli are meant for each other. even eli knows. nora for all her smarts is so dumb about this, it's maybe a little frustrating.
because she is so stubborn about this hypothesis.
luckily, eli is stubborn too.
there's also pie. pie that fixes everything. i've never had black-bottomed pie but it sounds intriguing.
