"I would like to pause the story a moment to talk about 'nothing will change.' I’ve heard it said to me repeatedly by women I love during my twenties when they move in with boyfriends, get engaged, move abroad, get married, get pregnant. 'Nothing will change.' It drives me bananas. Everything will change. Everything will change. The love we have for each other stays the same, but the format, the tone, the regularity, and the intimacy of our friendship will change forever."

i listened to the first 3/4 as an audiobook & i read the last 1/4. it was beautifully written &
incredibly imaginative but i was also sometimes confused!
