    "Because the terrible thing about becoming an adult is being forced to realize that absolutely nobody cares about us, we have to deal with everything ourselves now, find out how the whole world works."

    I don’t agree with this. Becoming an adult doesn’t mean no one cares about us or that we have to deal with everything alone. Most of us have at least one person who cares — a friend, a partner, family — and we figure life out together with the people we choose to keep close.

    "Because that was a parent's job: to provide shoulders. Shoulders for your children to sit on when they're little so they can see the world, then stand on when they get older so they can reach the clouds, and sometimes lean against whenever they stumble and feel unsure."

    Such a beautiful quote and thing to think about. Not every child unfortunatally will of had experienced the steady shoulders of their parents. But hopefully at some point in life, even if it's their teachers' or friends' shoulders

    DNF
    Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

    This issue I had with this DNF was that the writing was pretty obnoxious. I felt that there was repetitive word choice, poor thesaurus use and perhaps the biggest problem was the characterization of Holly herself, I felt that she was childish and contradictory and did not in any way feel like a real person. As the story went on, I was feeling a lack of chemistry between Holly and Kai-- and then he is her end game love interest but she has managed to go on way too many dates with another potential man? Why am I reading about her maybe falling for this other guy when it's clear to the reader that Kai is who she should end up with? Why is he taking so long to make his move? It just felt like it wasn't going anywhere.
