Thinking on these things as I take a couple of days away solo mio, and, fittingly, by the sea. ❤ ️🌊

So lucky to get my hands on the ARC for I Like You Like This, my friend Heather Cumiskey's forthcoming (11/7) YA debut. Can't wait to dig in! 🤓 📚

"It's so easy to be wrong about the things you're close to." (p. 8) Promising start!

"That night, Sara sat in Amy's library for hours, thinking about how tragic it was that the written word was immortal while people were not, and grieving for her, the woman she had never met." (p. 58)

Somehow missed this one when I was a kid. Well worth the wait!

A little soothing bedtime reading, because 4 a.m. isn't late enough for me.

Fifty pages left. Torn between heartbreak and relief. Still, I'm definitely stalling.
