“Already a lawyer and working to become a barrister.” - I definitely haven't been wondering up to this point why a lawyer would want to work in a coffee shop 😵‍💫🫠 English is hard 😭

I really like the Koh family…please don’t hurt me again like last time, Lee... :(

“When they heard, Sonya and Kenny had been immediately pragmatic, but not gentle. Right away, her siblings had come up with practical solutions. There was never any time for sadness or griping. Lily’s tender voice softened Helen’s stoic resolve.” - Moments like these are the reason why I love her writing so much. It’s such a small detail, but it makes the character seem so incredibly real :)

“Whenever a teacher felt hopeful for a child, the parent could not help feeling less alone. Hope felt like a rare gift.” - Yeah, the book is going to wreck me…

I'm loving it already :)
