Regardless of this lighter main plot, the story also touches deeper topics of loneliness, loss, and difficult family dynamics – all without making the book feel too heavy. These topics offer a great perspective to difficulties in life: not everything is easy in life, but you'll get through the harder things and you don't have to do it alone. Even the biggest struggles can be resolved when you open up about them to someone and get the right kind of help. That is such a great message for a YA book to convey.
I had a blast with this book!

Such a cute read!!!💓💓💓
“For
The Lonely,
The Daydreamers,
The ones who find their friends between the pages of books—
YOU MATTER, and your happy ending WILL come. Sometimes the wait is just longer in real life than in fiction.”
“I adored my dad.He just sometimes forgot about me if I wasn’t standing right in front of him.” x2
“Love is not what is, but what isn’t.”
“I was fascinated by people whose parents were still together. It seemed surreal and impossibly beautiful to me, the idea of living out all of your childhood years with both parents, together in the same house.” x2
“Existence is the default. Merely existing, emotionally, is the baseline. Happy is, like, this floating, fluid thing that’s impossible to hold on to. Elusive as fuck. Sometimes you get lucky and have it, but it’s only a matter of time before it slips back out of your hands.”
“Then, um, I have to confess that I think I’m obsessed with you. With this.” I swallowed and said, “With us.”
“I like knowing you, Emilie Hornby.”
