Strong character development: Yes

I really loved how Darcy was ingrained with words, memorizing stories into her mind and getting comfort in them when everything went wrong in her daily life. Even better, she has a job in a library after school! The last scenes with the play was marvelous you definately see how she got a talent with words.


Her mother being a hoarder and her dad dissapearing on them, that’s her coping mecanism. That’s the first novel I see that include hoarders and how the people around them might feel, the shame attached to it; and I like it for it as it’s definately more common than we think!

High school romance is so sweet and beautiful.  Darcy is the wallflower blooming during her senior year. The hot boy who got in a car crash after he graduated starts coming to the bookstore since he is working across the street. Asher is living a nightmare since his car accident which causes him to have headaches so he can't do what he loves. Nice coming of age story.
