….It’s like how perennial plants seem to die in the winter, but really, they’re just waiting till everything is alright again. Maybe it’s not such a surprise that there’s strength in the cold. Maybe sometimes the strongest thing of all is knowing that one day you’ll be all right again, and waiting and waiting until you can come out into the sun.
I really really liked this story for 2/3 of my read through and then it took me on a plot trail I didn’t think fit so well, but it’s a great book for the themes of hope and mental health and science and miracles, and I think most of all – friendship.
