Julia Whelan, again, for the win.
4 1/2 stars (I deducted 1/2 a star for being broken after reading it).
I went in blind and have to say this book wrecked me. Love always comes to those when they least expect it and when they’re not looking for it.
Hug the ones you love while you can. Make sure “I love you” are the last words spoken. Make sure the path you’re on is the path you want to be on for yourself and not the path you’re expected to be on or the path others think you should be on. Your motivations should always be for yourself first.
Writing was quippy as ever (as always) and getting to hear her read her own words just added to the excitement I had to go on this journey. She’s an always and forever writer for me.
