Quotation Marks: she knows that she isn’t the most meaningful thing in the world, not the most important person, not perfect or the center of the universe. But when he says her name, she is. That encapsulates her feelings so perfectly in about two lines. Which again, shows your ridiculous levels of talent.
Backslash: I just re-read this bit- Jess is the whole world. He’s adventure and books she never would have thought of reading and ways of looking at things that she couldn’t have imagined. And maybe he’s the bad boy, but he’s going to be a good man, or maybe already is. I cried because that's so true and Rory knew way back then that he was worth it all, that he was going to be a great guy. And you wrote is so perfectly that in my already heightened emotional state I am now crying.
Parentheses: I want this. I want a boy that'll steal my books and write in them and say everything I've wanted to say and some things I'd never thought. I want this and you wrote it again, so damn well. Rory was right to fall for him at that moment with On the Road, because it feels so right and so Jess and so very much the two of them.
Hyphen: Sometimes she wonders if he realizes how smart and talented he is—other people certainly don’t. But she knows that if he would just try, just invest in something other than her and reading every book ever written and annoying Taylor—he would be unstoppable. Ava's heart says: Stop Breaking Me!!!
Ampersand: That entire section spelled out Rory's reaction to the kind of stand-off between Jess and Lorelai so well. I love how you brought in Lane to, and how conscious she is of everything having to try to fit together for her to keep her sanity.
Colon: That he'd take her literally and make the list because it would make her smile is something Jess would do. It is his way of solving the problem and it's an affectionate gesture without it being cloying, or too sweet or odd. It's just Jess and I love it, especially this: She rolls her eyes and laughs again as she sees what’s crammed into the bottom margin of the fourth page: And that’s just offhand. But then you have the next list and I love how it's supposed to be Five Things but she's the Sixth and she was so important he couldn't not put her down.
Commas: Dammit. Heart broke and eyes cried AGAIN. I'd ask you to stop but I know you won't and I'll be upset if you did. But still. This might perhaps be one of my most favourite sections, 1: Because, again, I want a boy like that. I just do. 2. It's something I think the show missed out on doing. One minute, he’s staring at her like she’s crazy, the next he’s laughing harder than she’s ever seen him. He leans his head back against the top of the couch and lets the book fall from his hand and she can’t drag her eyes away from him (he’s beautiful). ... he’s laughing because she’s so cute and that he thinks it’s hot that she’s that passionate about something like that. ... With his free hand he takes the book from her. Can I borrow this? he asks, and maybe he doesn’t understand why she catches him off guard with a sudden, furious kiss, but he certainly doesn’t complain.
