“Amid all the weakness Paul couldn't conceal, Julian had somehow seen the potential for something better, something fierce and vital and worth loving. It wasn't just an entry in a private game. It was evidence of what Julian saw in him, of his potential to leave a mark on the world that could never be erased. It was a relief and a horror to be known so perfectly.”

I'm at loss for words... this is perfect... the eloquence…this book is showing me once again how beautifully words dance together

“In lieu of smoking, Julian took up the restless, Sisyphean task of trying to
unmoor a rock that was embedded in the earth. Like many of his movements, it
looked so careless and kittenishly destructive that it took Paul a while to
recognize it as nervous at all.”

This is pure misery. I haven’t cried yet, but the thought of someone I care for reading this book was enough for me to tear up.

There’s just no way this will end well

I don't think I have ever been this afraid to start a book

What if I bleached my eyeballs ? Would that help ?

Aaaaaah ...I need holy water

Dnf.
I picked up this book because it was recommended to me so much, in short- it was underwhelming. Cool idea - shitty characters.
Basically, all the did so far (pg 260) is find some people, mess things up and run away, all over and over again. Also the main character is so ...stupid and really annoying. like, you don't wanna be chased.. just blend into the crowds and don't get involved in street fights, etc.
