“Maybe you can't protect yourself from the wrong. All you can do is be yourself fully, authentically until the right person sees and loves that.“ pg 365

The main characters and their relationships felt so realistic as they struggled to gain confidence in themselves and grew as people over the course of Reggie and Delilah’s Year of Falling. This book is really about the journey to self love and acceptance in order to love others. 

I did not like or feel a strong attachment to the male side characters in this book. I just felt like they were annoying and entitled. I guess that makes it feel realistic as well because none of the characters were perfect. 

I loved the discussions about disability (dyslexia, migraines), race (being Black “enough”), and racism in the D&D community. I think there could have been room for discussion about the racism Taylor Swift fans might experience, but then again it’s probably best not the piss of the Swifties lol 

I did love the Taylor Swift references! The invisible string line…. ahhhh. /pos

The romance was pretty sweet.
