Good quote here: “Maybe love shouldn’t be built on foundation of compromises, but maybe it can’t exist without them either. Not the kind that forces two people into shapes they don’t fit in, but the kind that loosens their grips, always leaves rooms to grow. Compromises that say, there will be a you-shaped space in my heart, and if your shape changes, I will adapt.“

Dang Nora was so rude to Clint. Like I get what she said is valid but that was kinda rude to say to your lover’s father, even if it’s what he needs to hear. This is the first conversation I even remember the two having, and she starts off like this rip. Honestly Nora isn’t really as likable character but maybe that’s the point…or it just either out for Emily.

FINALLY a good talk between the two. Said nicely on this page. Nora is the problem, she’s the most annoying. Libby is still annoying, especially when she says “sissy” because she’s not helping her case seeming like the weak little sister who can’t fix everything.

Libby needs to stop being spoiled and wake up to the reality that Nora is like this because she feels the need to take care of Libby. Yes, Nora needs to look inside herself and also realize she’s being unreasonable, but Libby needs to stop acting like she’s not at fault. Libby also needs to stop keeping secrets. If sisters actually care about each other, they tell each other her important things.

The main characters are actually all SO annoying. This could literally all be solved if they COMMUNICATED. Nora needs to stop acting like her grown ass sister can’t take care of herself and she also needs to stop this self pity of “I don’t have a life because all I care about it my sister” crap. Grow up, be there for your sis but have a little faith in each other.

I’m actually genuinely super annoyed right now. The characters claimed to be such best friends, but they don’t even talk to each other. they say they’re close, but Nora doesn’t even want to talk to Libby and say “ hey, I know that you and Brendan are going through things, but I’m here for you if you want to talk.” COMMUNICATION, people, that’s all it takes.

Cute book so far. Small town romance is definitely a break from difficulty real world stuff.
