I HAVE UPDATED ALL MY REVIEWS OF TJR’S BOOKS TO 1 STAR BECAUSE I HAVE SINCE LEARNED SHE IS RACIST. She consistently tells stories about POC that are not her stories to tell and she has blocked multiple POC on twitter, specifically Latinx people for asking her to address this.

"You won’t realize just how young you are until you aren’t that young anymore." TJR's ability to make you fall in love with a character within the first 300 words of her books is unmatched. The book moves between Elsie and Ben's life together and Elsie's life after Ben. Their love for each other is infectious, but the real love story lies between Elsie and Susan.
