"The dichotomy between Tella and Evangeline is palpable. They’re so similar and yet so different. It’s kind of masterfully done. -> I think Jack’s just realized that too with the Poison joke.

“Heroes don’t get happy endings.”

I really like the commentary that falling out of love isn’t easy.

“The strongest of our feelings Yu’s always the urge to be that which we were made to be.” I love the Fates"

"I think that my understanding of the difference between envy and jealousy as well as what the consequences of envy actually is are lacking. The first chapter really illuminated those truths to me." Nov 05, 2025 04:19PM

Rachel Gillig
“To the quiet girls with stories in their heads.
To their dreams—and their nightmares.”
Rachel Gillig, One Dark Window

Abby Jimenez
“The love stories sold us the wrong thing. The best kind of love doesn’t happen on moonlit walks and romantic vacations. It happens in between the folds of everyday life. It’s not grand gestures that show how you feel, it’s all the little secret things you do to make her life better that you never tell her about. Taking the end piece of the bread at breakfast so she can have the last middle piece for her sandwich when you pack her lunch. Making sure her car always has gas so she never has to stop at the pump. Telling her you’re not cold and to take your jacket when you are in fact, very, very cold. It’s watching TV on a rainy Sunday while you’re doing laundry and turning her light off when she’s fallen asleep reading. Sharing pizza crusts and laughing about something the kids did and taking care of each other when you’re sick. It isn’t glamorous, it isn’t all butterflies and stars in your eyes. It’s real. This is the kind of love that forever is made of. Because if it’s this good when life is draining and mundane and hard, think of how wonderful it will be when the love songs are playing and the moon is out.”
Abby Jimenez, Just for the Summer

Arianna Smith
“If you would permit me more time to speak, I would never cease.”
Arianna Smith, Phoebe: Unfit to Be a Lady

Abby Jimenez
“You're not asking too much," he said. "You were just asking the wrong person. Ask me instead.”
Abby Jimenez, Just for the Summer

Ava Reid
“Anything can be taken from you, at any moment. Even the past isn't guaranteed. You can lose that too, slowly, like water eating away at stone.”
Ava Reid, A Study in Drowning
