This book was so beautiful. I cried a lot, I love every part of this story.

Sheesh. I was put on an emotional roller coaster with this one.

I swear I wrote a review for book 1, but it's not there. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ I enjoyed ATBK a lot until I hit the epilogue... it kind of ruined it for me. I borrowed this audiobook shortly there after, I believe, but ignored it and kept renewing the loan and skipping it... I just didn't think I'd love it this much. However....

๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ

That is all. Just me. Listening and openly weeping. All day at work. Like a weirdo.

This one is sooooooooo much more heart-wrenching than the first. ๐Ÿ’”โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿฉน

Fave quotes:

"Stars shine brightest in the dark." ๐Ÿฅนโœจ๏ธ

"Are there any plates that are too broken to be repaired? Any hopeless cases?"
"No. The shattered pieces may take longer to find. And they certainly will take longer to fix back together. But any broken plate can be mended with time and the sheer tenacity to do it." ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ This whole scene had me bawling. I'm glad it was my lunch break. Good grief. ๐Ÿ™ˆ๐Ÿฅน๐Ÿ˜…

This book was absolutely fantastic. No notes. Other than the narrators pronouncing his best friend's name differently. Lol. One said Stephen and the other Stephan. 

If you liked A Thousand Boy Kisses... you should definitely check this one out. If you did NOT like A Thousand Boy Kisses, you should check this one out (unless it was the author's style you didnt like). This one was so different and, in my opinion, leaps and bounds better. All the different stories of hurt and grief... all of their journeys. So amazing. So good. All the feels.

this broke me but also put me back together again. no words.
