• Blinking yellow lights when you’re about to do something stupid • Stop signs by people who could hurt you

Thank you for making me want to hug the world, @StevenLayne. And thank you so, so much for reading the story!
This book. Oh, this BOOK! Please read it. You will feel better about the world and full of hope! I rarely call a book a masterpiece—but this one is. @_natalielloyd has a new fan with a very loud voice. So, friends—get busy reading anything she writes! #LayneIsAFan
