The Start of Me and You (The Start of Me and You, #1)

by Emery Lord

My younger sister was infamous for her aversions—to green vegetables, dairy, and acting like a rational human being.

how much bravery it takes to create happy moments even when you don’t feel happy.

She never tried to rationalize my pain or fix it. But she planted this idea, that someday it might ease.

Together, we made four walls, holding each other up even as the world around us shifted.

I may still be stumbling through these steps, but at least I’m stumbling forward.

Because with true friends, no one is keeping score. But it still feels good to repay them—even in the tiniest increments.
