"All I want is to make him feel better, though I have no idea how to do that. I probably can’t, but I desperately want to." - Lemon
"Every single encounter with you, Lemon, I’m more confused about who you are as a person for real and I’m infinitely fascinated." - Hansley
Lemon wears colorful clothes and is kind to his students, he doesn't let people in, I understand why. He isn't really kind to the people he works with, people have get out of their way to even contact him because he never reads his emails, isn't that part of the job??? He knows that Hansley is married, from the start of the book. Hansley knows that he is a horrible person to his wife for cheating on her and that she didn't deserve it. There is hate and interest between Lemon and Hansley, they are also both coaches. Lemon gives his students hugs when they need them. The University is a safe place to be who you are and dress how you want. I think Lemon is a good example of that, with his colorful clothes and makeup. Hansley started asking for Lemon's hugs and that really helps him with dealing with his feelings.
This book just isn't for me, I just can't like Hansley while he was cheating on his wife for a while without telling her and that Lemon started it. It is just disgusting, he should have had more respect for himself and don't go after married people. They are both 30+ years old too. They just don't take responsibility for any behavior, for a very long time. I just hoped that they would've learned what respect is, sooner because they really treated so much better like they were nothing. They really changed in the end after some explaining.
