We Are Inevitable by Gayle Forman (read aloud txt) 📕

Thank you to Amy Margolis for the encouragement on that frigid day at the beach when I thought I’d never finish this book! Thank you to Raquel Jaramillo for support and encouragement and help figuring out what to call this thing! Thank you to Tamara Glenny, who is always among my first readers. Thank you to my trio of sister-wives: Emily Jenkins, Libba Bray, and Marjorie Ingall, who, respectively, helped me figure out the head, the heart, and the funny bone of this book and who kept me sane during the pandemic. And thank you to my actual spouse, Nick Tucker, who continues to be my muse, this time informing not just the record- and book-collector traits and indie-band ethos, but also the more obscure literary references. I probably never would’ve heard of Hrable were it not for him.

Thank you to my family, of course, in particular my two girls: Denbelé, my big-hearted partner in crime, and Willa, who showed me that a teenage reader could love Ike as much as I do.

And finally, thank you, my dear reader. It’s not always an uncomplicated love affair, this reading thing, with our collective attention pulled in so many directions. That you dedicated yours to a book, this book, and made it all the way to these final pages, it makes me (and, I like to imagine, Aaron, and Ira and Chad and Ike) very, very happy.
