Tavi says that the "The Virgin Suicides is [her] favorite teen romance of all time, either in spite or because of the fact that the characters never really talk to one another." Reading the last chapter I hadn't even begun to consider that romance existed in the book (besides the Dominic Palazzolo scene). I was curious as to why the narrators were so infatuated with the Libson girls, but never considered the fact that they might have a "crush" on them. The narrators seem to perceive the daughters as perfect and are unable to find much of any fault in any of them. Tavi really opened my eyes to seeing the story in a different light.
Also side note unrelated to what I wrote above, but I find it really interesting that everyone seems to have extremely different perceptions of the girls and different scenes in the book.
