„‚I love you, Lil.‘ We say the words all the time, but the power has not been lost. They mean more to me than he‘ll ever know. Our „I love you“s encompass years of heartache, of hurt, of laughter and pain. And every time we say the words, I feel that rush of our childhood. I couldn’t imagine ever losing that.“ 

₊˚⊹♡ I loved being back with these characters and un their world, I truly love them 

₊˚⊹♡ Krista and Becca Ritchie‘s writing is so superior, it‘s heartbreaking in one moment but bantery and funny in the next, it never get‘s boring 

₊˚⊹♡ I missed Lo so much on the pages, but I think it was necessary for him to „disappear“ for Lily to make the progress she made 

₊˚⊹♡ This was so emotional over all, but in an incredible way. It was heartbreaking to see Lily have such self destructive and depressing thoughts but it was also beautiful to see her slowly realize, that not every bad thing is her fault and that she isn’t worthless after all. My biggest point is that I feel EVERYTHING these characters feel, they laugh, I laugh, they cry, I cry, it‘s incredible. I just wish for Lily to go through the journey of healing and for her and Lo to end up healthy and happy. 

₊˚⊹♡ I loooove Rose‘s support for Lily, the way she cares for her and tries to understand her addiction, uh just 10/10.
