Boys of Summer, chapter 7 Symmetry:
They all plop down on the grass again; break open another round of beers and gather around the 2017 ladies’ magazine Magnus triumphantly waves around with a, “look what I found in the house!”
Isak smiles under his snapback, watching Mags flip open the magazine and read aloud from an article: “'How to make him fall in love with you in a week’.”
“Let’s hear it,” Elias says.
“Hmm…” Magnus scans over the text, “…it says here that girls like guys with symmetrical faces.”
“Nah, I call bullshit on that,” Mahdi says lazily, “symmetry.”
“What say you, Isak?” Magnus says, “…You’re the scientist.”
“Hah,” he takes a sip of his beer. “Fuck do I know, man. Haven’t studied that field.“
“It is physics though isn’t it?”
“Nah, Math. Fibonacci shit.”
“But, do you like it? Symmetrical male faces?”
“Sure, I mean doesn’t everybody like symmetry?” He thinks about Even’s face, and apparently Elias does too, eyes wide like he’s having an epiphany,
“Shit, that’s why Even pulls so much! Makes everyone fall in love with him with his symmetrical fucking model face.”
“No, it’s the hair.” Adam says, and Mutta supplies: “..and the pickup lines.”
Jonas strums his guitar easily; the chorus of an old Hozier song,
"I fall in love just a little, oh a little bit everyday with someone new"
"Exactly." Elias smirks, "...Hit it and quit it.”
