This book is, without a doubt, my favorite book that I have read in a very long time. I don’t know that I’ve ever seen so much of myself, of my own experiences, in a protagonist before. I could relate so strongly to every feeling, every tear shed, and every question asked in such a beautifully profound way. I somehow felt like I was going through this journey with my best friend and myself all wrapped up into one. I laughed, I sobbed, I wanted to punch Rory in the face. It has been the better half of a decade since I parted ways with my Rory but those wounds do linger. Thank you, Genevieve for writing this book. Thank you for healing something inside of me that I didn’t realize was still broken. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
