“when i watch you sleep […] i feel overwhelmed that you exist” 

this book makes me
1. see about a lake house and a lake town in some off-beat midwest locale

2. face some actual (albeit brutal, but almost likely deeply human)  truths about the flaws of  people we call parents

3. accept the fact that I love a good grump love interest 

beach read was a full meal. rich with healthy and overall delicious satisfying things however bitter the taste of some ingredients.
