jellytoast 's review for:

Half a Soul by Olivia Atwater
4.0

this was such a soft and lovely read. i especially adore how the book never treated dora as though she was something to fix, her journey was something else entirely. and their romance!! wow... it reminds me of that sayaka saeki quote (below!).

i also loved vanessa and dora's relationship :,) just girls being girls <3 there was also something so poetically beautiful about how it ends and the way it wraps itself up- overall, just a lovely lovely read

You know, love doesn't mean "l never want you to change." But I don't think it means "I don't care if you change" either. So I suppose it might mean, "I believe that you'll always be the person I adore." A declaration of faith, perhaps."
