Abby always hurts me in the best way - her characters are always flawed in relatable ways, and they hurt like real people do. Even when her late generation-x/elder millennial humor gets hokey, Abby always manages to squeeze my heart in a vice of real, human love. I told my husband (with whom I did the LDR thing for 3 non-consecutive years) that I didn’t need to wish for the kind of love Xavier gives, because I get to live it every day.
