such a wholesome read. I love that valancy is just a normal girl. she's plain and simple, nothing special about her. this makes her relatable. all she wants to do is make a life for herself, and that's the story. it's just a story of her self improvement and journey to be brave and say what she wants and doesn't want. and her bravery leads her to be bolder than she thought she would be and it leads her to find love in the unexpected.

oh and barney. I love how he calls her moonlight and how he just falls in love with her. the best thing he's says is,

" “Love you! Girl, you’re in the very core of my heart. I hold you there like a jewel. Didn’t I promise you I’d never tell you a lie? Love you! I love you with all there is of me to love. Heart, soul, brain. Every fibre of body and spirit thrilling to the sweetness of you. There’s nobody in the world for me but you, Valancy.” "
