buddy read with my bestie 💖

Why is this book giving me anxiety? 😫 if I was in Bee’s shoes, I’d be crying already

“If someone messes with you, they’re going to mess with me, Van. I don’t want to hurt your feelings. I might not be good with this friend crap, but I’m not about to let somebody get away with hurting you. Ever. Do you understand me?”

😭

I’m starting to get really annoyed with this book 🫠

I’ve seen this being described as a mix of Happy Place and The Ex Vows (two of my all time fav romances) so I have high hopes for this book!

"Fuck it," I whisper, and I drag her mouth to mine.

I love a “fuck it” moment 🙂‍↔️🤭

"Nah, Lucie." In my dream, he brushes a kiss against my forehead. "I think you're the magic."

"But what's wrong with being a romantic? I can be a confident, independent woman and still want someone to hold my hand. To ask about my day. It's a good thing to want passion and excitement and care. Attention and affection. I don't want to settle for anything less than that.”

I’m being reminded of why I adore this book 🥹

Lucie asks, a laugh in her voice. Her voice is smooth. Honey in a mug of hot tea. The window cracked open halfway, fresh air rolling in.

I love Borison’s writing!

I feel like February is the perfect month for a reread of this book 🥰💌

Sometimes being offered tenderness feels like the very proof that you've been ruined.

🥲

Who will be lost in the story we tell ourselves? Who will be lost in ourselves? A story, after all, is a kind of swallowing. To open a mouth, in speech, is to leave only the bones, which remain untold.
It is a beautiful country because you are still breathing.

finally taking this off my tbr, it’s been there for the longest time 🙈

They’re precious 😭🫂🤍

I know Ro. God, does it feel good for that to be true, to know her inside and out enough that I can be here, her support system when she's so often been mine.

😭🥹

Kane intrigues me 👀

I hate Tyler!

still in a romance mood, so I’m continuing the series. And something tells me I’ll enjoy this book so much more than the first one

I’m surprisingly enjoying this more than I expected but the smut is making me cringe 😭

It's almost ridiculous how much such a little thing can move and wiggle around beneath me. 🤡🫠

expectations are so low for this!

Still, it's one thing to create art. But it's another to make people feel your art. To convey it in such a way that it burrows into the little nooks and crannies of another human's soul, and unearths the pieces left forgotten. Pieces they might not have had the strength to face before, not until a book, a painting, or a song gave them permission to do so.

Soft, my ass, I think. There's nothing weak about this. I've got the damn sun in my chest. What does he have?

YESSSSS!!!

So I press forward.
-And I give myself to the sea.

Way’s love confession will always be one of my favourite moments from the series 😭😭😭

How do I tell him that now that I know what it's like to wake up in his arms, I don't know how I'll ever sleep without him again?

See, Will, see. See this heart in my chest. See how it flies for you.

"Resilience Waylon. It's resilience. The drive to stand back up, even when the world would rather have you on your knees.”

the reread continues!!! I miss will and way 🤍

wait a minute…he’s been hiding her luggage this whole time? And now, as revenge, she shaved his beard and cut his hair while he was sleeping? 🤣🤣🤣 LOL

I love these characters so much!!! I’m happy when they’re happy 🤍🤍🤍

"I love you," he says deeply. "And when you hurt, I hurt."

🥺
