This Is How It Always Is by Laurie Frankel

5.0

“You can’t tell people what to be, I’m afraid,” said Rosie. “You can only love and support who they already are.”

This is how it always is was one of the best books I've read in 2018. This is a book that everyone should read! I felt so many emotions reading this book. At times i didnt want to stop reading, however at times I had to stop just to think and process what I had just read.

Rosie and Penn fell in love and have a beautiful family. They are both very different and I was able to relate to both at various times. I enjoyed getting to know all the characters and their different ways to react to various situations.

This book made me think of things I had never thought of and I am so grateful that I read it.
