“I tried to believe in myself, and on the days when I couldn’t, I had friends who believed in me.”



“I wonder if everyone carries the weight of secret sadness with them. Perhaps if it weren’t secret, it wouldn’t be such a burden."


This whole series and its cast of characters were such a wholesome delight to read about. I will miss them and the lessons Katherine Applegate wove into each one of these stories. A true genius of her craft in creating such profound storylines that can be enjoyed at any age.
