This is my new favorite comfort book!

"I love you, you know that." -Monty "And I you, my darling boy." -Percy 🌈💙

Well, that certainly didn't go as planned. That entire series of mishaps was wonderfully hilarious! I couldn't stop laughing, though I do feel bad for them.

I'm going to have to listen to this over again once I've finished bc I have to keep pausing it to write down quotes I adore!

“I wish I could travel backward in time and tell Monty of two years ago, lying on the lawn of his father's house with a black eye and a dawning realization he was falling in love with his best friend, that someday he'd be here.”

"Where we start doesn't have to be where we end up."

"I start to laugh and he starts to laugh, with his lips on my throat and I can't remember intimacy ever involving so much happy laughter." 🌈💙

There are so many beautiful quotes for such a short story & I know I won't be able to remember all of them, which is a travesty.

"It’s like I’ve never kissed anyone before, and this is the first time I’ve ever been touched."

“I would teach my body to regrow my heart each time I gave it to him, over and over and over again. Heart after heart after heart—every one of them his.”

I could highlight the entire book!

"How had loving him this much made me selfish and drunk and awful, while he had grown even kinder and softer in its harsh light?"

Monty really is being an ass to poor sweet Percy.

"I know I’m being cruel and selfish, the two things I had very recently
promised him I would try to be less of, but either old habits die with as much collateral damage as possible, or maybe this is just who I am."

"Or maybe I couldn’t live up to my grand
words. Maybe I could never be the version of my-
self I wanted for Percy, no matter how hard I tried
or how much of a reformed rake I aspired to be.
That hateful, selfish streak I was struggling to
tamp may be as much a part of me as my own
heart. I wasn’t sure what I’d do when he realized
that."

“It had felt like the first deep breath I'd ever taken, to tell him everything, to hear his half of it all, then hold them up together to find they fit like two pieces of cracked pottery.”
