Omgh!!!! It’s a love triangle!!!! I don’t know who to root for! Oh wait Nevermind! I do!!!! And I will die on that hill!!!!

This book is so cute, a little cringe in the beginning but it goes away to more tolerable writing

Jenna Evans Welch captures grief so accurately. So many little things happening to Lina happened to me too—the apologies from a mom who knows what she’ll miss, Sonia giving her the journal, people handing you memories and pieces of someone you’re losing.

Watching someone you love slowly become a collection of memories is such a specific kind of grief, and somehow Jenna got it exactly right.
