DID NOT FINISH: 14%

Really not in the mood for a contemporary story about this messy stage of life. This is meant to have really good representation and nothing wrong with the writing so this'll be a banger for a lot of people!

Incredible, beautiful, real, and honest. So many tears. Definitely going on my favorite book shelf.

“You know an animal trusts you when it shows you its belly — the softest, most vulnerable part of the body, kept hidden as an almost instinctive act of protection. Between people, too, being vulnerable and opening up to others with our hopes, insecurities, and fears is the greatest act of confidence.”
