Where do what do what do you do with all of those happy memories and just joy and to put it into a book, into a narrative?
And I think it does make the book feel very autobiographical.
Because I've I feel it all the time in my life.
I love the friendships in my life and
I love the ways in which friendships can be so romantic.

Um are they going to betray one another?
Is something terrible going to pull them apart?
