Still processing this but it was so beautiful and it will be something I think of many many times. Especially this quote: "And so I try to be kind to everything I see, and in everything I see, I see him."
One of my main takeaways was how this book highlights the importance of friendship and found family throughout your life. The characters and the relationships are so fully formed and it feels as if these could be real people. Throughout the book we get different timelines and it changes perspectives which helps you to truly understand each character and their relationships. I feel like this quote encapsulates this: "Wasn't friendship its own miracle, the finding of another person who made the entire lonely world seem somehow less lonely?"
