This was the first Casey McQuiston book I read out of their four and it took me a second read to fully fall in love with the story. I have yet to read more of their work — I think I'll aim for One Last Stop next — but I know that this helium light, airy feeling in my chest will undoubtedly be back when I do. There's an undeniably happy quality to their prose; it's almost like the words themselves float above their inky counterparts. I just feel light and happy and inspired. A new comfort author.
