Love Is a Mix Tape by Rob Sheffield
4.0

some people are lucky enough to experience a love that makes them feel the center of the universe.

"I could feel serious changes happening to me the longer I stayed in Renée's room. I felt knots untie themselves, knots I didn't know were there. I could already tell there were things happening inside me that were irreversible [...] Falling in love with Renée felt that way. I felt strange things going on inside me, and I knew these were things I wouldn't recover from. These were changes that were shaping the way things were going to be, and I wouldn't find out until later."

"It was surprising to see how relieved she seemed whenever I told her how amazing she was. I wanted her to feel strong and free. She was beautiful when she was free."
