The Misconnection Between Connell and His Mom

A lot of what the book is about is this like it's both a like a misconnection thing between them almost as they get a little bit older. They simultaneously really get each other but also don't always read each other's intentions yeah correctly yes in a way that sometimes had me thinking you know if you just follow this conversation to its natural conclusion just a little more often I bet you kids could make it work, she says. "It speaks to both of their like deep seated insecurities about themselves"
