Josh is a romantic who deeply desires love to fill the emptiness caused by his absent parents. His need for affection might have led to their relationship developing quickly, not necessarily because they are perfectly suited, but because they both got caught up in the moment—him driven by an unfulfilled desire and me by a long-standing crush.

Since seeing him in person, I've begun questioning how well I truly know him, reflecting on whether my three years of longing have skewed my perception. I've also experienced different versions of him, as depicted in Stephanie Perkins' book "Isla and the Happily Ever After," which has added layers to my understanding of who he is.
