Fun and lighthearted! Some really beautiful moments, but a little bit too much of “hot girl summer”-vibes idk got a little bit annoyed after a while

this book is girlhood in your early twenties personified!!! there were so many lines I read and thought they reflected my own thoughts from this time exactly. isa and gala are pretentious and obnoxious but that's the point!! I love when girls do stuff

That rare work that remains fun, witty, warm, and lighthearted, while also revealing more serious themes of grief, loss, and finding oneself. A gem.

“It would be nice if whenever someone said ‘I love you,’ - it meant ‘Everything will be fine.’ It’s all assurance anyway.”

“Am I not always shouting into the void, waiting to be responded to with courtesy? Wrestling to get other people to see me how I see myself.”

“He said, 'What do you want?' All I could think of was peeling the skin of a Valencia orange in bed on a bright morning with someone pulling me into the covers because they want to spend two or three minutes nestling before starting their day. So I said, 'Not much.’”
