“This was the thing that I kept trying to manufacture. Only with Chris it was real.”

“We’re fed the narrative that you never give up on the ones you love. And I did love Mike. But it wasn’t my job to hold him up while he decided if he wanted to stand or not. To scream at him to change until I lost my voice.”

“Mike never told me no. That suddenly felt like a red flag now. Some people-pleasing impulse that kept him from letting me know what he truly thought or who he really was.”

I’m not sure how Abby J does it but somehow I’m on page 29, fully invested, have laughed several times already, and know this book is going to be fabulous.
