Analyze Emma's relationship with Cody.

Emma's relationship with Cody will not last because she is changing herself to be with him. Emma tries to impress Cody by lying about her personal interests and to make them similiar to Cody's. Emma also uses Facebook, which shows her the future, to learn more about Cody's life. For example, Emma sees on Cody's facebook page that even 15 years into the future, he is able to quote the movie Wayne's World and decides to watch it even though she is not interested in it. "Josh and I couldn't believe how stupid it was. But if Cody can quote Wayne's World fifteen years from now, and if I want to move things along with him, I need to get my hands on that movie as soon as possible" (265). Emma's relationship with Cody will never work out because she is changing herself to be with him. She is lying to herself about Cody because she is in love with the idea of being with Cody. Emma fails to realize the only things they can talk about is about what she saw on Facebook and his interests that she pretends to like.

Emma has a bad relationship with Cody.
