Ask me if I’m okay. Go on. I’m not. Thanks for asking. The Wrong Mr. Right pulled my heart out over and over again, and then stood there laughing. I am vulnerable.
It’s cliché but Hannah is me, I am Hannah. 29 years old, afraid of everything and living in the shadows? It’s me, hi.
This book was so beautiful in the way that we watched Hannah bloom into herself, not into somebody that she wasn’t, not into somebody that other people wanted her to be, into herself. Her endless bravery was so inspiring and, though I can’t imagine putting myself out there in any way like Hannah did, it did make me think. The worst that can happen is someone rejects me. Sure, that’s reason enough for me to never try anything, but I’m so glad that Hannah kept going and accepted everything that was thrown her way, regardless of how utterly mortifying it was. She didn’t die. In fact, by accepting those embarrassing moments, she was truly living. Incredible.
Wyatt, oh Wyatt. What a gem. I don’t feel like I know him well enough and that makes me so sad. I have so many questions. In fact, many similar questions to those I have about Emmett. How did he grow up? I know what made him favour the ‘temporary’ but I feel like you need to have a certain disposition to really believe what he did. Again, similar to Emmett, when you grow up in a family as loving as the Rhodes’, how do you become such a commitmentphobe? It doesn’t make sense to me at all.
Nevertheless, Wyatt is an angel in surfer’s clothing (or lack thereof…). He is kind, thoughtful, and so brave too in his own ways. Not caring what people think (to the right extent) and living your life to be free is beautiful. It’s evident that Wyatt truly cares about people, and he’s a charming character to read. I want to see him so happy.
The Wrong Mr. Right is romantic, funny and inspiring. I loved it. I miss it. I want more.
