I can't read the ending unfold.. Oh good Lord. I'll be missing this book, I'll be in pain forever (hopefully, not..)
I feel like I'm a child trapped clueless and sobbing between Yash and Casey's dilemmas. 'God, I hate hospitals,' Casey would say. And I, with my wretched heart woefully agree.
Maybe in the end, I'll actually just accept where fate takes them, and learn that love goes beyond the world we know of.

Oh it hurts, it hurts. Lily King you've robbed my heart!! My chest, my throat, my eyes try to break free and wail in pain! I love the richness of your writing, your characters?!!? Why do I feel like I know them so dearly, like deeply that it hurts literally, after just casually reading their stories in Writers & Lovers? From just loving Casey's sarcastic remarks before to this??!

I feel sad.. Why Yash. I thought you're.. sjanfb I can see little red flags here and there. Maybe you're entertaining someone else - maybe Sam convinced you about something.
And Casey, you always have the wrong choices.
Went to Paris and never thought about stability and being a responsible adult. Can't talk about emotions when you knew it was you suffering from all that bottling up you did since Jay. AAA

I'm really enjoying the book thus far! And I feel like I loved it bc I recently finished Writers & Lovers and this book even made more sense. I pick up little realizations here and there. About Sam's religiousness and stiffness - I can say I'm a spiritiual person, too. But I don't largely think one's spirituality must be caged on rules upon rules. It's different.
