Starting this one. It’s been all over my feed so I am hoping it is good!
I’ve been crying for the last I don’t know how many chapters. That’s it. That’s the review.
Charlie: “There are full series I love whose last chapter I’ve never read. I hate the feeling of something ending.”
Me: Same Charlie, I feel the same way.
“Sometimes, even when you start with the last page and you think you know everything, a book finds a way to surprise you.”
- Emily Henry, Book Lovers
When you want to read and enjoy nature but it’s too hot outside.
After seeing it everywhere in my feed, I finally have this book in my hands!
So ready for this book.

“When I think of all the people who want to forbid abortions, it seems it can only mean one thing - not that they want this new person in the world, but that they want that woman to be doing the work of childrearing more than they want her to be doing anything else. There is something threatening about a woman who is not occupied with children. There is something at-loose-ends feeling about such a woman. What is she going to do instead? What sort of trouble will she make?”
