    I can see from his expression that there's nothing I actually need to say out loud right now. My eyelids get heavy and when I blink them back open, he's still gazing at me.

    I didn’t think I’d love them this much, but I do! Their friendship is so precious.

    Her mom calls her a “total and complete mess”, and he says “She’s not a mess. She’s perfect.”

    "Lenny, when I look at your face, I feel like I'm finally home after a really long day at work."

    This entire guac scene has me cheesing so hard. Because what do you mean he rests his chin on her shoulder, opens his mouth for her to feed him a chip with guac, tells her “it’s the best guac” he’s ever had, then “simultaneously slides one arm over [her] belly, resting his palm on [her] opposite hip, and lifts the other hand” to grab a salt shaker and then lime to add to the guac, but STILL says “it’s the best I ever had because you made it for me”.

    SOMEONE NEEDS TO RESUSCITATE ME!

    "Hey," I say. He grunts. "No sleeping." His lips kick up into a smile. "I'm not sleeping." "You always say that when I catch you sleeping." "I'm never sleeping when I close my eyes like this with you." "Then what are you doing?" He pauses and I think he might not answer. But then he says, "I'm committing the moment to memory.”

    screaming ahhh into pillow

    I had no idea I would love this book as much as I did. 😭 I fell so hard for Miles! I loved Lenny and all her quirks and ways to deal with her grief. I loved all the understanding and tenderness this story carried throughout. The pacing was just so perfect for the story. I have 0 notes. This book was everything.

    Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:
    For a book I expected to be light holiday fluff, I  fell in love. I fell in love with everyone.  Bastone knows how to write a likeable/lovable character right from the bat. Lenny, Miles, Ainsley, Jericho, Lou … I loved them all. 
    It felt so refreshing to read about love and grief and finding friendships and good people in such a modern day story. I connected so much with Lenny and alot of what she has went through , and I want to be part of her new friend group so badly. 

    I think this would make a wonderful film if it ever got picked up and I can’t wait to read another of the books by this author in hopes I love them just as much. Her writing style is everything I want from a book.

    “I’m uncontainable. I’ve just cracked the code. How to live a perfect existence: just embrace it all, every lovely/excruciating color. I’m so glad Miles is here.” I throw my arms out to the sides. “Let’s be oil paintings, you beautiful bitch!” He lowers his book and eyes me over top of it. “It must be truly exhausting to live in your brain.” “You have no idea.” I turn and collapse onto him and throw his book as far as I can.

    Only Cara Bastone can make a moment that is equally funny and heartwarming!! This was everything
