“Intelligent men don’t let life-changing women pass them by without trying to grasp onto them with both hands.”

Easton Crowne, everyone 🙌

"You don't want to go," he fires back with conviction, gripping my hand and jingling it within his. "And I don't want you to go, either."

Okay, finally giving me something

so far, i liked the first one better. I'm a littleee bored :(

“You never said it,” he whispered. “You never actually said the words to me.”

“But you knew,” .... “You always knew.”

“I hoped I was right, but now? Still?” he asked.

“Now. Still.”

“Say it again, Stella. Say it again and I’ll leap across these continents back to you.”


AHHH I LOVE THEM SO MUCH

“Don’t throw those fucking signals at me, Stella, or you’re going to find yourself on the right side of my bed.”

“Why the right?”

“Because I sleep on the left,” he said as he leaned in. “And you’ll sleep on the right."

Not him being funny, don't make me like him :(

I’m obsessed with them

AND THEY DID, THANK GOD

"I miss him. Why do I miss him?
I'm right here, Stella."

just kiss alreadyyyy

"This is good news. For a minute, I was afraid my hair was too short; I was too clean and pale. And I think you’re the sexiest fucking thing I’ve ever seen. Even if you’re wearing a scrunchie."

Oh I love them

"Because I’d always been an emotional person. I cringed when I heard the words “calm down,” and got highly offended when they were directed toward me. They were like battery acid being thrown at the overly sensitive."

very relatable

I was influenced to read this by larryreads and so far, I'm enjoying this

Have these people never heard of long distance relationships (?) I guess breaking up is more dramatic and "selfless"

"Her hand landed on my back—warm, tentative at first, then bolder, fingers trailing down my spine like she couldn’t stop herself.

“You’re … back.” Her voice cracked. “Holy shit.” "

the you're vs. your battle will never have an end

“Hey, Cass?”

“Hmm?” she replied, almost asleep already.

“I like coming back to you.”

cuties

"It was a bit of a shock to learn that Amanda was working part-time for Cassidy, but it did make me smile. If anything, it made me smile. Unless Cassidy had told her the truth about us?"

wondering if the author meant to leave the repetition in there, about the smile

" 'Mathias doesn't look at you like you're the sun, Cassie girl.' He told me to be careful with him. He was right."

Parents tend to know these things before we do

"She deserved someone who stayed, even when it hurt, even when it was messy, even when it wasn't easy."

beautiful quote

Starting this one, and I absolutely LOVE the cover

"Missing someone while the rest of the world carried on was a difficult thing to explain, ..."

this

Enjoying this a lot, the spicy dreams have started and, oooh, how I love those

Stayed up until midnight last night just so I could listen to more of this audiobook, it's that good because usually I'm asleep by 10.30 / 11 pm

So far, really enjoying this

So far, I hate the main character.... in a horror movie, she'd be the first to die (not the sharpest tool in the shed, for sure) and I wouldn't mind

Chapter 18 with all the car trouble got me giggling, Abby Jimenez, you've won yourself a reader

To whoever said on Reddit that it gets better after the council of Elrond, you were absolutely right and thank you very much

Not easyyy to make progress with this book. I watched the movie and was interested the whole time, I thought the book would be easier after that

Took them this long for a kiss….

So….. is anything going to happen between them? Ever?

All they do is talk and it’s not even interesting, it feels like they’re negotiating a possible relationship. Do they have to sign a contract before we even get a kiss?

This is a veeeeery sloooow burn

Just now realising this is the second book in a series…. Why do I always do this? 😬
