“Love ultimately wins, Hannah. Love ultimately saves.”
in a daze right now, not enough words to convey how much i loved this and how much i felt reading its every page. bakerhannah mean the world to me, the amount of times i sobbed and heart was physically aching while reading. my best girls i hope they're happy every day as they figure out everything together and their story just impacting me for the better with the last few chapters of the story mending my broken heart. with the heavy topics especially the religious trauma this deals with how much they felt like they had to repress their true selves and feelings. yes at times it's frustrating seeing what these characters do, but you really empathize with them because their actions stemming from the beliefs that had been instilled in their minds for their whole lives. it truly hurt particularly reading hannah's main perspective in how much pain she had to go through for months on end, every single emotion described cutting deep to my bone. i just can't convey anymore how much i will hold this book near and dear to my heart for years to come.
“But Baker," Hannah says, touching a hand to her tears, "you also saved me." Baker's face screws up again. She heaves with more sobs, placing a hand over her ribs. "You saved me, too," she cries.”
