Maya H: The Girl I Used to Be


In The Girl I Used To Be there is a character named Duncan, I infer that Olivia and Duncan like each other. When they met each other they were at her dad's funeral (after they found out he didn’t kill the mom) but no one knew it was really her. When they are talking to each other at the funeral they are being really awkward, if they hadn’t liked each other I think that the there conversation would’ve been more casual. When they leave Olivia says to Duncan “Nice talking to you.” He responds “Maybe I’ll stop by next time I'm at Nora’s.” Nora is Olivia’s new neighbor, when they are saying these things to each other they say them really awkwardly. Later in the book something happens and Duncan says that they should pretend to be dating because of something I can’t say. After she agrees to this, she thinks in her head “I want to be more than his pretend girlfriend.” In real life, you wouldn’t want to date someone (for real, not pretend) unless you liked them.
