---

Emma Straub captures so much in this book - the magic of New York City, the invincibility of being 16, the complicated feelings of reaching adulthood and asking, "Is this really all there is to my life?" and of course, the devastating ache of losing someone you love. Yes, this book was sad, but it was also filled with such undeniable hope and joy and love that it felt like the kind of cry that you inevitably need in order to move through the sad into whatever comes next. Until the future ❤️
