   Summary

   Ivan's Guide to Falling Out of Love With Your Best Friend

   • Try new hobbies
   • Stop daydreaming about him
   • Try dating again
   • Acknowledge his faults
   • Distance yourself

   (I want to laugh with him until we're both breathless and my face is red. I want to go skating with him and hold hands on the ice. I want to spend my 23rd birthday with him. And then the rest of my life too. My everything. My angel.)
