Julie Baker devoutly believes in three things: that trees are holy (especially her favorite plane tree), that the chickens she raises in her backyard lay the most hygienic eggs, and that one day she will be with Bly Rossi Roski kisses. The moment she saw Bryce's blue eyes in second grade, Julie's heart hit him. Unfortunately, Bryce never had feelings for her. Also, he thought Julie was a little weird, how could anyone consider raising chickens and sitting under a tree fun.
Unexpectedly, by eighth grade, Bryce began to find Julie's unusual interests and pride in her family that made her seem attractive. And Julie began to think that Bryce's beautiful blue eyes might be as hollow as his own, after all, how could anyone not take other people's feelings for trees and chickens seriously?
1. The higher I got, the more amazed I was by the view. The higher
I climbed, the more amazed I was at the scenery in front of me.
2. Some days the sunsets would be purple and pink. And some days they were a blazing orange setting fire to the clouds on the horizon. It was during one of those sunsets that my father's idea of ​​the whole being greater than the sum of its parts moved from my head to my heart.
Sometimes the sunset glows with purple afterglow, and sometimes it emits orange-red fire to ignite the sunset on the horizon. In this splendid sunset scene, I slowly realized the truth that my father said that the whole is better than the sum of the parts.
3. Sometimes a little discomfort in the beginning can save a whole lot of pain down the road.
Sometimes forbearance at first can avoid the pain along the way.
First love, sweet, beautiful...

Flipped quotes

  • Chet Duncan: Some of us get dipped in flat, some in satin, some in gloss, but every once in a while you find someone who's iridescent, and once you do, nothing will ever compare.

  • Juli Baker: [on why she's interested in Bryce] I guess it's something about his eyes... or maybe his smile.

    Richard Baker: Well, what about him?

    Juli Baker: What?

    Richard Baker: You have to look at the whole landscape.

    Juli Baker: What does that mean?

    Richard Baker: A painting is more than the sum of its parts. A cow by itself is just a cow, a meadow by itself is just grass, flowers... and the sun peeking through the trees is just a beam of light, but you put them all together... and it can be magic.
