Editorial Book Review:

By Irene Yang

The strongest book I've ever read. This story is about love, getting better, and how painful past wounds can be. Despite being successful in different ways, I was immediately interested in the lives of two people. Their relationship is immediate and has many beautiful layers. It grows with a closeness that is both honest and deeply comforting. No, it's not just about love. It's about what happens when someone really sees you and loves you anyway.

One of the things I liked most was how realistically the feelings were shown. At times, I was weak, scared, and unsure, but it all felt real, like these were real people I knew or had met before. The writing is beautiful, but it's never too much. They sound like they're talking because the words they use are natural and full of warmth, wit, and quiet depth. They help each other in a kind way that shows love isn't about saving someone, but being there for them as they get better.

The book isn't just about love; it also has themes of strength and the power of link between people. Even if you look strong, there are times when you need a safe place to fall. The first one is about being creative and expressing yourself through art. The second one is about taking chances and following the rules. It's already tough enough as it is. The story made them stronger in ways they didn't expect. They had to fight because they were afraid.

There's more to this than just love. It's about learning to trust again, let go of the past, and believe in something bigger than fear. It gave me hope and made me remember why all kinds of love are worth fighting for.
