FAVORITE QUOTE/QUOTES
She had a world of options. But I was the one she'd chosen.
A LITTLE ABOUT THE BOOK/HOW DID IT MAKE ME FEEL
This was such a quirky book in all the right ways. There was lots of fun witty banter. But then there were some pretty heavy situation. And then there was this beautiful book about self discovery and what we can do for love. When the impossible just seems possible.
WHAT I LOVED ABOUT THE CHARACTERS
I loved that they were both better together. That Lynn had believed in Darren even when Darren couldn't.
WHAT I LOVED ABOUT THE BOOK
I have not read many books with this many layers. I loved how everything came together.
MY FAVORITE PART- IF IT IS NOT TOO SPOILERY
The moment that Lynn is explaining why she is willing to sacrifice and that Darren not wanting this to happen. But Lynn saying it is her choice and she won't allow anyone to tell her what to do. And then figuring out why it was so important to her
WHAT I DIDN’T LIKE
Nothing really. But I was getting frustrated that I wasn't putting the pieces together. But it was not about not liking it. I just usually can figure things out faster.
