If vanessa ford dies I'm hunting down anyone who has ever recommended this book im so serious

"She wanted so badly to tell her parents that Vanessa was more than a friend. She wanted to open her mouth and say that lying in bed next to Vanessa at night was the only way Joan knew she’d had a good day. That the touch of her hand in Joan’s made Joan’s heartbeat slow down. That Joan did not know why everyone was so goddamn happy all the time until she met her."

Everyone knows joan goodwin is a lesbian except, of course, for joan goodwin
