"Ugghh such a disappointment and my expectations were low. The “rehash of all of her previous books except shallow, boring, and bad” and “why was not a single end tied up” has been said, so I’ll add that I couldn’t remember who anyone was. Her tendenc"

"I wish Sarah Dessen would branch out of YA. I would’ve loved to have this book in Catherine’s perspective. Finley’s storyline fell so flat and I almost feel unsure about what actually happened in this book? It was kind of a whole bunch of nothing. Al"

"Disappointment of the year 🥲 I was so looking forward to this release since Sarah Dessen was one of my favorite authors growing up. Some of her books (Dreamland, This Lullaby) live rent free in my brain because I love them so much!!!!

“Grandpa puts an arm around my shoulders gingerly. "Some things are too painful to share. Some memories are best left alone until we're able to tell them as the hard part of a much longer, much more beautiful story.”

“Mom shakes her head, and suddenly I hear it. She isn't just red. She never has been. This whole time, I've heard the wrong notes. My mother has all this blue just beneath the surface. She's been purple all along. Anger plus sadness is purple.
Purple is vivid and real and layered. Purple is what you are when you can sing two notes at once, when you hear harmony with every melody before you even learn the notes. Purple is what I've seen in Shanna's eyes sometimes. You sound purple if you've ever cried your eyes out at night. You're purple if you love someone who can't love you back the way you want to be loved--the way you need it.”

“I am trying to come up with some "adult" reads, but I mostly read young adult fiction (my job), which, by the way is excellent. I will post about some of my favorites that should appeal to adult readers”

“Thought that is silenced is always rebellious. Majorities, of course, are often mistaken. This is why the silencing of minorities is necessarily dangerous. Criticism and dissent are the indispensable antidote to major delusions.”
