I can see why Libby recommended this. It's SUCH a Libby book. Hipster artist pretty boys that hate each other, so Libby-ish.

loved!

Finally reading this... So, I start off liking James but he's starting to irritate... I'm feeling sorry for Turkish.

Aww, that was cute. :)

"People tell themselves, this is California, how cold can it get? At least in places where there is snow on the ground, homes are insulated properly. Here the chill is constant both indoors and out." Soooo true, I have ranted about this many times.

"That's it... too much crazy, James. You're cut off."

"But Yusef," James whines.

So cute. I love the managing.

"I am a mess. He knows I'm a mess. He wants me anyway."

Best description of love. Ever.

"I kind of want to go thrown up somewhere and I also kind of want to dance down the street. Jesus, if this is anything like what love feels like, I want no part of it. But then that dumb grin that spreads across Turkish's face manages to warm up my insides anyway, and somehow it all seems worth it."

SWOON!

"Maybe you're a little hungry?" By hungry, I think he means cranky, but he's probably right.

LOVE the Calvino reference!

"Am I perhaps talking to drunk James?"

"I have to tell you something and I need you not to freak out and make this worse."

"okay," she hums, "but if it's a dead body, honey, just let me know so I wear the right shoes."

I <3 Kitty

"...that bat-shit panicked side of my brain says Peter doesn't even have shoes on, so if I bolted for the door it would probably be pretty easy to lose him."

"I look down at our hands suspiciously. It makes us look like something we most certainly are not. I want to yank away, but I also want to get naked with him later, so I decide to try to be nice."

"Just repeat after me," he says slowly and calmly. "Yes, Yusef, I will decorate a tree with you on Saturday. I know I appear hostile, but I'm just excited."

I stare at him in silence for a moment. I think that was pretty damn close to sarcasm, and I don't like this new development one bit. He's learning to manage me way too quickly for my tastes.

"It's like some horrible muscle car mated with one of those little British roadsters from a Bond film, and this is their monstrous cock of an offspring."

James reminds me of someone I went to HS with. Gawd! How I miss that idiot.

Wow James, can you at least let the man explain himself first?! JFC. James can be so infuriating sometimes.

Why is James such an ass to Turkish sometimes?!
