“Underneath our questions about side-hugs, purity, abuse, family drama, singleness, and heartbreak I found something more abiding and fundamental to our humanity that informs all these things.”

Ooooooof. BEST CHAPTER BY FAR. Loneliness and the Location of God. Erin has been reading my mail. This hit so close to home. She offers a very insightful and challenging view of loneliness that ultimately paves a way for hope. I will need to reread this chapter a few times for it to really settle in, but SHEESH. this stuff is pivotal.
