i sobbed like a baby for the last 15 minutes that i was reading it, and i for sure will talk about it in therapy tomorrow.
thank you for this sequel, it wasn’t necessarily needed, but it was for me. for the 14yo me that read “orbiting jupiter” and sobbed for hours after, and again at every reread. this was so beautiful, heartbreaking, and true to their story. this book spoke to the 12yo me that just wanted everything to go as it should.
