And sometimes you meet someone who doesn't see you any differently if you tell them. That is everything

In the world of Melissa Marr's novels, characters often struggle with their identities and the fear of being judged for who they truly are. Whether it be a faerie trying to navigate the human world or a human discovering the existence of the supernatural, the theme of acceptance and understanding runs deep in Marr's stories.

"And sometimes you meet someone who doesn't see you any differently if you tell them. That is everything." This quote perfectly encapsulates the importance of finding someone who accepts you for who you are, without judgment or prejudice. In Marr's novels, characters often find solace in those who see past their differences and love them unconditionally.

One such example is in Marr's Wicked Lovely series, where the protagonist Aislinn struggles with her newfound faerie abilities and the fear of being rejected by those she loves. However, she finds comfort in her friends Seth and Keenan, who accept her for who she is, faerie powers and all. Their unwavering support gives Aislinn the strength to embrace her true self and face the challenges that come with it.

Similarly, in Marr's standalone novel Graveminder, the protagonist Rebekkah returns to her hometown to fulfill her duty as the town's Graveminder, a role that comes with its own set of supernatural responsibilities. Despite the strangeness of her new life, Rebekkah finds acceptance and understanding in the form of Byron, a man who sees her for who she truly is and stands by her side through thick and thin.
