Reading this book made me remember I should probably go outside. I woke up this morning, went for a walk, then made myself breakfast. It was nice to make a new memory of just peacefully walking by myself. I'm 1000% more grateful for color and will make more efforts to get out of my monotonous school schedule as a college student.

I'm on the first page of chapter 16. As dark as it sounds it's so beautiful to not only have choices, but to share pain. This hypothetical of the whole not having pain and the minority, the receiver, taking it on shows me that we shouldn't minimize the pain of others but try to share the burden with them. I've always felt this in my core but couldn't put it to words until I read this.

Guys, I have no clue what chapter I'm on, I just know this is exactly the kind of literary fiction I've needed. Like it's sappy, acknowledges its cliches, feels like a hug, and the start of each chapter is something I've never seen in a book before. It really puts you in the character's head, you know, aside from the book being in first-person point of view. Don't take me too seriously. Know this, I think this book is gonna be a banger.
