The Phone Booth at the Edge of the World by Laura Imai Messina
5.0
I love love.
This book was beautiful and the writing style was exactly my type. The lists were adorable. From parenthood and love to loss and hope, I genuinely have no other words other than beautiful.
“Childhood taught us something different about happiness, that all you needed to do was reach out your hand in the right direction and it was there to be taken.”
“We need to posses joy in abundance before we can bestow it upon somebody else”
“Him returning to her. Her returning to him.”
“Actually, she thought all children - without exception - were miracle workers”
“She had felt so happy to have it confirmed - she was loved, and loved in return - that she believed this love would protect her.”
“Being loved comes with enormous responsibilities.”
