Have you read Heartbreak Bakery? I also love Cinderella Is Dead, This Poison Heart, and The Lesbiana's Guide to Catholic School - all funny yet serious and heartwarming.
I love Keeper of the Lost Cities! Keefe or Tam are my favorite, I’m so excited for Keeper 9.5! I’ve never heard of those other characters but they sound amazing!
I love all selfless, funny, and utterly unique characters, but some of my recent favorites are Mona, Spindle, and Aunt Tabitha from A Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking and Sophie from The Keeper of the Lost Cities. Anyone else heard of them?
Deeply affecting. The breakdown of a close friendship has always been more challenging to me than the end of a romantic relationship; I'm sure you (or your narrator) are going through a rough time. I suppose it's just a fact of life that people grow up into defined characters, and those older characters do not always fit together in the way they did as kids. But I do grieve with you for your loss. This was excellently written, with more than enough detail for me to picture your friend and understand the once-relationship that has now begun to crumble.
hi I'm Sofie :D
"catastrophize" great word. And that last pair of couplets --- woah, they really touched me. Beautiful poem!
So many great details! Can't tell whether this is real or imaginary observation --- not that it matters of course. Beautiful
Mmm...if you're trying to write a more YA story how about this:
The margarita burned the back of my throat as I swallowed, glanced across the roughly cut bar, and fell in love.

I’ve heard a lot of good things about that, thank you for the recommendation!
I’ve never read that before but that sounds interesting!
