i fell in love with these characters and their love for one another. tinged with sadness and grief the whole way through but still so, so beautiful. almost didn’t read because the author didn’t use quotation marks but i’m so glad i did because i think i really understand the purpose of leaving them out. it blurs the line between memory and present day, one line in one decade and the other in the next, and makes you feel as though you too are with ellis, remembering. to annie and ellis and michael <3
“And the three of us swam. Mr. and Mrs. Judd and me.”
