Never felt so seen by a female character. I related so much to Ellie with my own scars and seeing a love interest love on them as if it wasn’t the thing I find the most disgusting on my own body was…relieving. 

One day, I hope someone like Rafa will come into my life and treat my past just like he did in the books. Like they’re not something to be ashamed of.

Thank you, Lauren, for making me feel seen.
