Gifting someone something and taking the time to write a thoughtful note is a very nice thing people do for each other.
Typically you respond in kind with a “thank you for the gift and the card/note/well wishes attached”.
These are what would be considered “polite social norms”.
The girl slipping a note in to the gift and saying her feelings also is not crazy. It can be hard to put yourself out there.
HOWEVER if someone straight snubs your gift it’s gonna be shitty even if it’s from a friend. He snubbed her, she got the message even if he didn’t know he was answering.
Anon meant so much to her she couldn’t ask if he found the note?
well it was pretty clear he didn’t, why would she have to ask?
I mean if she wanted to know how he felt about her
you mean she could’ve avoided wasting money on a book? I guess, but confessing through this way is kind of cute.
I mean yeah, simplest would’ve been just to ask. The book and the note was a cute idea but didn’t quite play out the way she was hoping lol

This is normal human behavior folks.
