  4. T, just something i noticed, through out all that we read, we never actually learn the main character's name, besides that it is a girl

    EX, Probably why she dropped out, even though i find it sick

    T, Pure recall question, what was the name of the website they were going to put the coffee shop up on?

    Y, not exactly sure how i would relate to this
