Part 3 Chapter Summaries & Analyses

Part 3, Chapter 1 Summary: “I Love None”

The Shakespeare Society meets to rehearse a scene from Much Ado About Nothing. Georgia struggles being the romantic lead. Pip and Rooney argue over directing, performing the romantic roles in the scene to demonstrate their vision. Georgia, Jason, and Sunil are hypnotized by their energy. Later, Georgia and Jason talk about the sexual tension in Much Ado About Nothing. Jason says sex is fun, but he wouldn’t mind being in a relationship with someone who didn’t want to have sex. Georgia is pleasantly surprised by this. She likes the idea of being in a loving relationship without sex, even though she assumed sex would naturally come with such a relationship.

Part 3, Chapter 2 Summary: “Wank Fantasy”

For a long time, Georgia felt embarrassed about being a virgin, but now, she’s learned from Sunil and Jason that sex is not necessarily a requirement in relationships. She discusses sex with Rooney, and Rooney asks if she masturbates. Georgia does masturbate, inspired by the chemistry between characters in fanfiction. Rooney thinks about both men and women when masturbating, and is perplexed that Georgia doesn’t imagine herself having sex with people in her fantasies—not even celebrities.
