This book 😭😭 can already tell the hangover is going to be intense

“I’m finally here”
“I can feel you living”

"Now watch." Stef took the sandstorm-desert self-portrait and laid it on top of the mandala, lining up the edges. Now holding Then hostage.
"Well, there you have it," Geno said. "I can't find the old me."
[…]"There you are," Stef said.
😭😭 excuse me while I compose myself. My heart…❤️‍🩹

That night, you borrowed my shirt when we went out and it was like you buttoned yourself inside my skin.
😮‍💨 can this writing BE any more exquisite? I can’t 😭

”I said ‘Third time's the charm, right?' And Alex said, 'A group of finches is called a charm.’”
THIS MOMENT GAVE ME CHILLS 😭🙏

"What are you afraid of?" […]
"Nothing," Geno said, pulling up a hair taller while thinking, Everything.
😭

He couldn't shake a weird feeling that something important had just happened.
I’m ready for some healing now please 😭🙏🙏🙏

Oh. Jude St Francis level of pain. 🫥

“Mothers always jump.” God, it won’t stop. Can I please have someone to cry with?!?!

"You are something to me. You're everything to me."

"He wasn't female, so it wasn't rape."

"Everything that happened to you is mine to protect because it all happened so you could be with me. I need to be worth it, and I will."

"I don't wanna be anyone anymore. I just wanna go home, but I have no home."

My heart is in pieces 😭😭😭😭😭😭

Suanne Laquer forever ruined foxes for me now *twitches uncontrollably*

when I tell you my heart is breaking into a million pieces 😭😭😭 I'm still on chapter 9 😭

omg wtf 😭💔💔💔

"Did it happen to a girl you know?"
Geno looked up, screaming inside, Why a girl? Why do you assume a girl? Think it can't happen to a guy? Think a guy can't be drugged and raped? Any of you got brothers? Do you worry about them?

And this is why this book is not only gut-wrenching and beautiful, but also a goddamn important read 💔💔

Please hear me, he thought.
I want this feeling I have with him.
I want to husband this feeling.
When I talk to Jav, I feel honest. I feel authentic. I feel myself and I see so clearly who I want to be and the life I want to lead. And the kind of person I want to have with me on the ride. A curator and sailor.
A person who makes me feel like this.

❤️❤️😭
