I’m going to need a few days to process this one. 

Edit: I definitely took more than a few days to process this one, but it has slowly but surely become my favorite book (or at least one of them). It has made me think so much about the importance of family and love and embracing the unexpected. It has solidified my belief that things are meant to happen a certain way and that love is never an accident but always meant to be. I love this book so much and not only did I reread it but I am constantly going back to look at my notes and think about it and find new lines that I love. It's just so so beautiful I can't recommend it enough.
