Rainbow Rowell has this magical way of writing stories that feel like you’re reading your own memories. I’m feeling nostalgic for things that I know didn’t happen to me, but they’re so similar to my own experiences that it makes sense. Sort of. And since the book covers the beginnings of a relationship in college to its failings in adulthood, I think this book has a lot of those experiences everyone can relate to.

I always have a soft spot for stories unfolding within newspaper offices, and I melted a little every time Georgie crept into the production room to watch Neal work. A lot of those college newspaper moments are so much like my own college newspaper moments. *Dreamy sigh*

I just have too many words but also not enough to talk about how much I love Rainbow’s work. As soon as I finished reading, I almost turned back to page one and started again. But it was 2:45 a.m. and my bed was calling for me. Instead, I’ve been daydreaming of Nebraska, snowpocalypse, and yellow magic phones that can send me back to better times and and times of falling in love.
