I read this book as a tween, and just now I was browsing Netflix and the film came up as a suggestion. It triggered a memory of an exchange that Georgia and Jas have in the book, and I couldn’t understand Jas’s response, and to this day I still can’t :
She said, “Well, the boy behind the counter in the hire shop was really good-looking.”
“Yes, so?”
“Well, so I lied about my size–I got a size ten catsuit instead of twelve.”
She showed me the marks around her neck and waist; they are quite deep. I said, “Your head looks a bit swollen up.”
“No, that’s just Sunday.”
What does ‘no, that’s just Sunday’ mean in this context? Is it a product she used that made her head look swollen? Did something happen the previous Sunday to make it look so?
Georgia, the narrator, doesn’t mention Sunday prior to this conversation, other than to note it was raining.
