Status Updates From The Sleeping Night

Love the JA Persuasion feel of this book. Also. sigh, Romantic. Im invested.

'A swirling dizziness filled her, swelled through her mind and spilled into her limbs—the purest most beautiful sense of God she had ever known. Filled to bursting, she arched against him with a cry, and tears spilled from her eyes and she held him as close as she possibly could.' I've been really enjoying the way Samuel writes about each of the protagonists' relationship to faith & God!

'Sometimes, with the indigo summer sky stretched overhead, she wld listen to Jordan High laughing & think of God: God in a good mood, like he never ws in church; God like he must hv been when he made the sky. It was a luxurious sound, rich with knowledge & awareness & love. She’d close her eyes & let that laughing flow through her, thinking of God w a black face & strong black hands' I'm not religious but I love this

She knew it was dangerous and foolish and impossible. Foolish. She knew, she knew, she knew. She'd always known.

But knowing didn't change what she felt.
