A lot here about choice and agency and holding onto hope and survival when apathy and surrender start to feel inevitable.

This was amazing. I’m still not sure how I so badly misinterpreted what this book was about but I’m glad I figured it out and will blame author event nerves. Fun to read. Stella audio. Just a good read all around. Can’t wait to see how it all comes together!

His kindness didn’t come in the form of gentle words but in *doing*.

Do not ask how many times he falls but how many times he rises.

Why is it that people are content to know that a huge, terrifying fate has been dumped in my lap by a bunch of people who see the fucking future, but when it comes down to seeing that fate realized, they're suddenly too spooked to do anything to bring it about?

Time cannot run backwards for any of us.

I so rarely get anything I want.

We do not all love equally well.
