I've decided to start posting teasers again!! To kick things off I'm spotlighting a book I actually re-read last week (apologies to the meme rules), so today's pick is What I Like About You by Marisa Kanter, a fun and flirty YA contemporary romance about books, blogging, and baking. For more info be sure to check out my blog tour review tomorrow, which will include 10 reasons you should read this book ASAP (if the quote below doesn't convince you ;).
To further break the meme rules, instead of the requisite two sentences I present a section on friendship that was just too good not to share. Enjoy! :)
"Friendship--real friendship--isn't easy. It's destroying Barbie dream houses and screaming in movie theater parking lots and screwing up, sometimes badly. It's a mess of lines drawn in the sand and questioning loyalties and answering difficult DMs. It's making comparisons and exposing insecurities.
But it's also bowling by our own rules. Laughing until our stomachs cramp and tears stream down our cheeks. It's knowing that I have people, real people, from all over the country in my pocket, always a text or tweet or lunch table away when I need them. It's knowing the world might be a trash fire, but it's less trash when there are people to help navigate the darkness.
Friendship is messy. Hard. Infuriating. Awesome. Fragile. Durable. Impossible. Worth it.
Always worth it." (Pages 383-384)
