I want whatever they have

It's so endearing to see them confess their feelings and let their relationship have no label. They love each other and that's what matters. And have them on the aro/ace spectrum? Chef kiss
Love how from the start this relationship focused on familiarity rather than the typical romance. Yippe

"If you can say 'I always want them to be my side', then just say 'love'. There's all sorts of love in this world. We can be together with my 'love' and your 'love' as friends. It's simple.You and I didn't match in the romance front. As long as the love matches up on both sides, it's fine. "
So happy to see adults handling rejection well and it's not the end of the world. In the end they love each other YAYY

"Whats wrong with being selfish?"
"I'll just bother them."
"Troubling others? Bothering them? Those are just excuses to avoid being hurt."

El capítulo 19 me pegó en toda mi madre. Man, yo solo quiero que me quieran 😭

"My mom's body... Is getting older... Losing important pieces along the way. The same goes for me. I keep on living, even though I'm missing pieces."

This book has me crying about ALL the things, haha. All the small things - like a parent happening to pick out a particular food at the store for their child, and it then becoming the child's favorite even once they're an adult. And then seeing how happy it makes the parent. Being able to do such things for someone else.

Also, I so wish that relationships like this were more present in media, and encouraged. That you can see another girl/woman going for the same person or career or whatever, and openly LIKE her, not just compete and try to get in the way of each other. This is so much healthier, and I so rarely see it represented.

Also just struck me how much this series shares with Bloom Into You (Which I also loved).

"No matter what happens... It won't change how much I care about them both.

😭❤️
I love a book where romance doesn't equal forgetting about everyone else and their emotions. Even if they're your rivals.
