"He treats you well?”
“Mom, he walked into hell and dragged me back out."

Infinity stars to you Cara Bastone for writing the most beautiful story about grief and the great loves of our lives. It's been a while since a story has truly moved me as much as this. Alex Finke is an absolute revelation. What a talented narrator to bring Lenny (and all the characters) to life in the way that she did. 

I will truly never not be thinking about this book. Wishing everyone who needs one their very own Miles.
