WOW!
I am so unsteady writing this. This book felt like the warmest hug from a long-lost friend. I cried, squealed, jumped up and down, and cried some more. I am so deeply in love with these characters and comforted by the author's brilliant and beautiful words. I will likely never recover from this one... so many tears have stained these pages. Long story short, read this book but be prepared for tears and an existential crisis.
The aches hanging heavy in my chest after reading this are inspired to write stories that make readers feel just like this.
THANK YOU TANYA BYRNE, YOU ARE A GENIUS
