god I did tear up at the end - definitely take your time with this one - each of the three main characters are so complex and unique and I loved digging into the ways they love and hurt and care for one another. it really speaks to what we need after real loss and tragedy, love and unconditional support very very emotional and dark at times so heavy TW
One hopeful quote towards the end —— Love can be a lot of things though, says Noel. Right? It’s pleasure, but it’s also washing the dishes and sorting medication and folding the laundry. It’s picking out what to eat for dinner three nights in a row, even if you don’t want to. And it’s knowing when to speak up, and when to stay quiet, and when, I think, to move on. But also when to fight for it.
