Quarantine Read-Along Time + First Pages: To All the Boys
“I like to save things. Not important things like whales or people or the environment. Silly things. Porcelain bells, the kind you get at souvenir ships. Cookie cutters you’ll never use, because who needs a cookie in the shape of a foot? Ribbons for my hair. Love letters. Of all the things I save, I guess you could say my love letters are my most prize possession.”
To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before by Jenny Han
