This was wonderful. The story was told in a dear diary format where Lilah's thoughts are coming as she is putting them in her journal. I love her self discovery and how she realizes what it means to let go. Let go of self doubt, insecurities, anger, disappointment but one that is the hardest for us all is the one we love so that they can have a future. Here this reminds me of the phrase if you love someone set them free if they are yours they will come back if not they never were. This is what Lilah what must with Ben and it is hard to watch.this is the story of Lilah and Ben and how they come together. How they find love and support in each other. How they buoy each other up and give each other the strength to do what they feel is impossible. Ben is a patient and understanding guy. He loves Lilah with everything he is. Lilah helps Ben see the world in a unexpected way. She shows him that it is okay to be just be. They have many fumbles along the way and many douh moments but it is so tender and sweet to see. Like the trip to the area where Lilah's favorite book goes. How Ben remembers everything about her and what she says. Lilah's willingness to let Ben go so he can have a better future.the year that is written about is filled with love, misadventures, self discovery and fun. This is a wonderfully touching book and one that will have you rooting for these two great characters.
