"You can still love someone that you’ve decided not to speak to anymore. You can still wish them well and hope for the best for them. Choosing a life without them doesn’t mean you stop caring about them. It just means that you can’t allow them to harm you anymore. But if you don’t think your life would be better without them in it, then accept that they have cracks. Try to understand how they got them and help fill them with something that isn’t ice." 
Seriously, how do her books just keep getting better and better? I thought nothing would top Yours Truly (which is now tied for my fav of hers). Her stories are SO well written and the perfect balance of realistic struggle and romance. Abby brought the series full circle in the best, jaw-dropping of ways. Yet again, I laughed, I cried (a lot- the content of this book hit reallllll close to home), and I swooned (I freaking love Justin- forget book boyfriends- he's my book soulmate). Also, we all should have a Maddy in our lives. That girl is a real MVP.
