Adam Kravitz Character Analysis

Adam is Jessie’s neighbor in Chicago and her first kissing partner. Their kiss was awful because Adam was a horrible kisser when they kissed in ninth grade, so Jessie writes him off as a valid romantic partner for anyone in the present. However, Scarlett takes a liking to him and they begin to date right before homecoming. Scarlett insists that he’s actually nice and a good kisser, and that his acne is clearing up. When Jessie visits, she sees that Scarlett is right: Adam is filling out, getting taller and more muscular, and his acne is much better. He’s also clearly in love with Scarlett. To Jessie, Adam is only a peripheral character and mostly only exists in relation to Scarlett. Because of this, she shares little about his personality.

Chapter 28 Quotes

And as stupid as it is, I admit I think about SN that way too. Not Caleb, not the real-life version of SN, but the one on my screen. The one who is always there for me.

He’s not real, of course. We’re all better versions of ourselves when we get that extra time to craft the perfect message. The SN I know and obsess about can’t translate into real life. He’s a virtual soul mate, not a real one. I do realize that.
