If i could say one thing about this book it would be this quote. "A stranger is just a friend you haven't met yet” - William Butler Yeats
This book was written with so much heart. With each page of twists and connections the story warmly deepens. The perspective shifts were great with each chapter. It made me curiously wonder what would come with each story line. Very well written! Becoming an adult has always been one of my biggest fears. Just like everyone i want to stay young, however it does not happen. I am writing this at just twenty, younger than the characters of the book. Nevertheless i felt for each characters growing pains and joys. The everyday unnoticed by others yet similar struggles was familiar. One day you're in the summer heat eating ice cream after camp with friends and the next struggling to pay rent. How does one just wake up one day with obligations like taxes and groceries needed to be done. If you're alone, that makes it all just dreadful. This book puts us all in one ark to ride the flood together. Bringing the people with these challenges of life to weather it out. Those you believe are nothing but uncommon strangers quickly become a shoulder and friend to lean on.
Happy to have this as my first 2025 and Goodreads log!
