Taylor Jenkins Reid. My Queen.

This book plays with the idea of true loves, and what it is like to love someone truly.
Spoiler It stuck with me that if you're willing to give a lot of yourself to other people, then you can have more than one true love. (No shit, it's the main point of the book)


Even though Jesse and Sam are almost polar opposites they both coincide in the way they make Emma feel. How their relationship with her is unique and perfect for a certain stage of her life.

Spoiler The part of the book where they are in Jesse's family cabin in Maine is so beautifully tragic because you realize how much they have grown apart yet they can't seem to let go of eachother. That heartbreak that comes with it it almost feels like grief. 
And when Jesse calls Emma to tell her he's met someone, and that now he understands what she was going through is just, wow, so mature but like, it made my heart ache but in a good way.
