did not finish cuz of time.
so last night i borrowed the audiobook of this from libby. im at 17% bc thats where i left off.
update on 1/31: finished listening on audiobook. simply breathtaking. here i am crying at 9pm over this. hearing this while im still technically a teen is so helpful and well hopeful. the ending made me cry when evan's mom is unexpectaly invited to dinner with the murphys and what happens after that.
