The Q is a time, a place, and a person. So are books.
The day One Last Stop came out, I devoured it at midnight in a feverish state, searching for something I didn't know how to identify and coming out content but not completely satisfied. Three years later, I find myself walking parallel to August, a queer kid from the South fighting to create home in a big, impossible city, living with strange and wonderful friends, and starting new notebooks like I'll find myself between the pages. The person I am now needed to read this story in a way past me didn't yet, and at the same time, I wouldn't have picked the book up for a reread if past me hadn't already given it a go. Time is funny that way.
I laughed and I cried and I found love. This book is sunshine.
