Joan Concilio

“I'd had the conversation I'd been dreading all summer. I'd gone into the rooms I'd kept closed. I'd fallen in love and felt my heart break, and I'd heard than I wanted to hear, and I was on my feet. The beautiful lies were all gone. Destroyed. And I was still upright.”
― Emily Henry, Beach Read

“WAS THIS WHAT LOVE WAS? Being happy when you thought about someone; wanting to never stop thinking abou tthem, even when you were fighting; having every damn thing in the grocery store remind you of them, from diapers to sour cream; wanting to be a better writer and friend and person because of how they were and how they made you feel; wanting to be with them, all the time, even though you kept fighting it.”
― Jasmine Guillory, The Proposal

“I tried to imagine cabin fever. I tried to imagine this getting old: that smile, those rumpled clothes, the language only Gus and I spoke, the joking and crying and touching and not touching.”
― Emily Henry, Beach Read

“Fondness warmed his gaze from the inside out, as if he was seeing exactly the person he wanted to see.”
― Christina Lauren, The Soulmate Equation
