UGH so lovely, the relationship between allison and marla was so whjsshsns i felt both warm and fuzzy and like my heart was being played with like a basketball at the same time??? either way 5 stars, such a beautiful book

This book is a part of me now. No, really.

To me, this book fulfills literature’s most sacred purpose.

Anything else I could say as a recipient of this story would be so overrun with superlatives, I’d risk undermining the profundity of its impact on me.

As a craft nerd, I *can* say this book has lessons for writers about how to hook readers directly into the emotions of characters.

Such a unique way of telling a story. I’ve never read a story in verse. I thought it would be hard to level with the characters because of the really small chapters but Crossan did such a good job. A heartbreaking story, written beautifully.
