![]() ![]() Belle’s best friend Emily takes photos of people, all the time. I love the unique little quirks each of the characters has that seem to perfectly capture their personalities and their traumas. ![]() They hurt each other while trying to find themselves and while trying to navigate the different ways one can love someone but they make up again. ![]() Yes, that’s where it starts but after a bout of crying and self-pity (Belle refuses to be a “Malory” who wallows in misery for weeks on end), Belle moves on to some more interesting issues: will the newly outed Dylan be safe in their small town? Who is she now that her relationship is over? (and how did who she was come to be defined by her relationship?!) And is it OK to fall in lust/crush/love with Tom so soon after the break-up (does that mean she never really loved Dylan?!)?The characters are wonderful and complex. This isn’t so much a story about the horrors of finding out your (ex)boyfriend is gay. I was thus pleasantly surprised to read this beautiful, touching story. So she doesn’t know how to react when one day he tells her that he’s gay.When I read the title I half- expected a silly, angsty book about love going awry. Plot: Belle loves her boyfriend, Dylan she thinks he might even be her soul mate. ![]()
