I'll be Right There

finished this in such a short time. it was a great book about youth, going through loss, grief, despair, and everything in between. i loved the friendships formed all throughout the story, the beauty and ugliness of standing up in what you believe in.

and i learned here two phrases to say during tough times—“let’s remember this day, forever” and “i’ll be right there”.

This is a book I'll read again when I'm going through a rough patch centered around a loss of my sense of self and how it relates to those I love. There's lots of loss and love in this book. It's written beautifully and simply in a way that makes understanding clear (for someone like me who can't see things in their head). Deep enjoy. A new possible favorite.
