Emma gets norovirus and proceeds to give it to Justin. The vomit scenes almost made ME yak. That was a rough listen.

Im speechless. I absolutely adored this book. I felt so so much for Emma.

Being a survivor of complex trauma myself I related to this book deeply. I loved the metaphors used of having your own Island and being small. 
Seeing how Emma slowly but surely started to open up to love moved me and in a way healed a part inside of me.

Love the ideas of if you can choose empathy over anger, always choose empathy and meeting someone where they are. 

It’s really great to read love stories about grown people learning to deal with their trauma. It’s a nice change of pace and it helps me think about who I want to be and reminds me it’s not too late to try to get there.
