Going through Rainbow Rowell in backward order on audio. I'm starting to feel like Rebecca Lowman (reader for RR's books) is my personal friend. I liked this one -- it was quieter than Fangirl; it only got plot-intense for me at the end. (And Christiana, I think I found the easter egg!!!) After so many teen books, which are about the "firsts" of relationships, I appreciate a book about that very adult truism that a commitment is a choice you make over and over again. 
 Incidentally, I loved all the descriptions of snow. 
 Favorite quotes: 
 (view spoiler)[ 
 "And she hadn't gotten to say "I love you"--Georgie always said "I love you," and Neal always said it back, no matter how perfunctory it was. It was a safety check, proof that they were both still in this thing." 
 "Seth, however, had never let himself go. If anything, he'd tightened his grip. He looked like he hadn't aged a day since 1994, since the first day he and Georgie met." 
 When she imagines telling Neal the future on p. 163-164 -- "We stay in California. You hate it. But you grow your own avocados. So that's something." 
 "Neal didn't like to be asked things. It made his jaw tense. He'd give you a flippant answer. Like, whatever you were asking, it wasn't any of your business. 
 Like nothing was anyone's business. 
 Like nobody should ask questions that didn't absolutely need to be answered." 
 "She thought of...the way he never made her feel crazy, even when she was acting crazy, and never made her feel like a failure, even when she was failing." 
 "Neal wasn't happy, and Georgie was why. 
 And not because of anything she'd ever done or said. Just because of who she was. 
 Georgie was Neal's anchor. (And not the good kind. Not the happy anchor that keeps you safe and grounded, the one you get tattooed across your chest.) Georgie was . . . dead weight. 
 Okay. Now she was being melodramatic. 
 This was why she never let herself think about this. Because her brain would dive and dive and never touch bottom. She didn't let herself think about it. But she still knew it. Everyone around them knew it--Margaret must. That Neal wasn't happy. That he hated California, that he felt alternately lost and thwarted here. Trapped."
