Summary
He’s happy with Even, he’s in love, and he doesn’t want to change a single thing about that. He’d tell everyone in the world how amazing Even is if he could. The problem isn’t him being gay. The problem is that he’s still scared of the way he wants to live. He’s still scared of what Jonas will say. He’s still scared of how the world will see him.
or: Isak explores his femininity

Summary
At eighteen, each person chooses whether they will be an intellectual or a lover. Intellectuals are responsible for advancing society; it is illegal for them to enter into romantic relationships as it would distract from their purpose. Lovers are everyone else: they can be in romantic relationships, but are not trusted with high-level jobs.
Isak is an intellectual with no desire to be a lover: he knows the dangers of romance and believes he is too smart for it anyway. Even is a lover who thinks the whole system is bullshit, and as it turns out, Isak's best friend is a bit of a revolutionary....

Summary
Every day, Even catches a boy in a snapback who sneaks in to play the piano at the summer camp Even works at. Even's never seen him before. But if the boy's good looks hadn't already captivated him, then his phenomenal piano-playing ability certainly has. Even doesn't know much about love at first sight, but he thinks that this is pretty close.
(Or, seven weeks of music, flirting, summer camp, and falling in love.)

“Yeah,” he says, “I think in one of them we meet in this way,” and just like that it’s begun.
