Our flaws make us human, and there is always room for a second chance. At times we're side characters in someone else's quest and that's ok. We don't always know the battles they are fighting when we meet them. Even in its sad parts this book finds ways to make you laugh and catch you off guard

Gabrielle Zevin. Two books in a row and I feel so satisfied. Her writing style is so approachable and full. I zoomed through this book and felt so impassioned about books, life, aging, and a strange sense of fate. So beautiful and can’t recommend it enough.
