I loved the line from Sarah on page 271 that gives the book its name. I loved how it came up later with Tom & Ming. It was so beautiful.
Rob was my favorite character </3 I am heartbroken ugh he was the best friend.
Someone in a review compared this to Normal People which I didn't love and it made me nervous but I felt so invested in this book and the characters and the sorrow that I really enjoyed it. Sometimes I don't enjoy books that are more character-driven, however, I loved the beauty of this book. I loved that it is complicated and sad and unsure.
I'll be thinking about this book for a really long time.
