She is, too, an acute observer of the intimacies she sees in her friends’ situations and wishes for herself – “the sweet balance of ‘you cook and I’ll wash up’, how the pan moves from one person’s job to another”.

We were allowed to pick 2 books out of the 4 that was there, and I immediately snatched up Come Find Me by Megan Miranda 'cause we know I'm Miranda trash. Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don't, then who will, sweetie? Saying I miss you so much is the best way to express appreciation and affection to your partner and make them feel special.
