This is one the best indie books I've read!! I am blown away how sweet, empowering, hopeful, swoony this book gave off. The hard topics in this book were addressed with such grace. All the characters were so incredibly loveable in this cute small town. I want to visit Wallowpines just because of this book. I absolutely loved how Brooks just reminded Shay of her strength throughout the whole book. All the Graham brothers are sooooo swoony I cannot wait for Nolan and Levi's story!

"I should’ve stayed home, said every introvert ever."
"“It’s not a burden to need help, Shay.”"
"“I’m surprised you didn’t call me out on it.”
“I was letting you go at your own pace, honey. It’s important to let people do that.”"
"“The only one I want to make sandwiches for is my very complicated best friend.”"
"“Did you ever stop to think that maybe you aren’t broken, but that instead you’re being rebuilt?”"
"“It’s okay to not feel okay. Even the sun needs rest.”"
