Lights by Brenna Thummler
4.0
Thummler owes me restitution for this book, because it felt like a personal attack on me. I found myself relating to Marjorie so much in this book, but the end of this book had me literally in tears right before I needed to leave for an appointment. Because I felt like the words being spoken were what I needed to hear at so many different points in my life. But especially when my brain ruminates on friends that have come and gone.
The Sheets Series is fantastic, I would definitely recommend it for a lot of people. While it covers a lot of heavy topics it does it in a really good way.
"Some lights shine brighter than others- They light up different parts of your life. But see they all cast shadows, too. There's good and bad in everyone, you know? But the more friends you have in your life... well... the more, brightness you'll have overall... You can't seek the friends "you always thought you'd have." Friendship happens naturally and... Unexpectedly with people you don't have to think twice about."
"I know almost nothing about being onstage. and a tutu is probably the least likely garment I would wear. even after one of those insane neon tracksuits. But Life is sort of a stage, right? Didn't Shakespeare say something life that? The characters, the lights- some do shine brighter than others. Like some literally sparkle, almost to a fault. Some light up the spaces on stage you never knew were important, challenging you to see new perspectives. Some are duller, some may flicker, and they all can at some point, cast creepy shadows. And some like a flame, won't last forever. But they're all there, ideally to play their part- however big or small- at eliminating the darkness."
