It’s hard to read this one already because you know two major things that are going to happen and they both suck…

YOOOO WHAT?!?

WHAT?!?!? (part 12)

“You only have to look backward to see that most people who governed by fear and malice didn’t last long in their position of influence. They faced revolutions, rebellions, skirmishes, wars, and assassination attempts. But leaders who inspired their subjects were beloved and championed and protected. Trust me that you will meet a disastrous end.”

“A boy is born with a broken heart.”

I have never closed a book faster in my life. Decided I was done with this one for the evening.

“Because I made one too.”

WHAT?!? These books have been surprising me left and right over the last couple of days.

“‘Good night, Addie.’

As simple as that. Two syllables falling from a tongue. And it’s the best sound she has ever heard.”

“Marry me instead” is a crazy first line…

Comfort reread before my Hoopla hold expires.

Line of the day…

“Six feet of boy curled around kicked-in ribs and a recalcitrant heart.”

At this point it’s gonna take me years to read this book because I want to write down quotes from every other page…

“He wants to set himself on fire, but he can’t afford for anyone to see him burn.”

“Fuck you,’ Henry says, his voice breaking, and he gets a handful of Alex’s shirt collar, and Alex knows he’s going to love this stubborn shithead forever.”

“Henry’s willingness to dance is directly proportionate to his proximity to Alex’s hands, and the amount of giddy warmth bubbling under Alex’s skin is directly proportionate to the cut of Henry’s mouth when he watches him with Nora. It’s an equation he is not nearly sober enough to parse.”

😮‍💨

Next book off my TBR was inspired by Kate’s acknowledgments in The Odds of You.

“Who knew falling in love would color everything else in your life this way?”

Read One Dark Window over a year ago…I guess it is time to finally read this one.

DNF. This book seemed really promising but the further I got into it the more disjointed the story became.

“There are muses for all who dare to feel.”
- narrated by Teddy Hamilton 😮‍💨

Oh, I really love the name Theo.

“A matter of time.”

“A matter of timing.” 😩

You mean to tell me this is a second chance romance set in NYC with a split timeline…yes please. Sarina, how did you know the exact way to my heart?

The sounds he makes in the audiobook… 😳

“The good goodbyes.”

I haven’t had to put a book down because I was crying too hard in a long time.

AP, what magic do you put in your books?

And the award for Best Chapter Title goes to…

“Death of a Bachelor”

“Baseball is in all of us.”

Claire, you got me girl…I love books that are romantic about baseball. 🥹

“ I was grateful we had each other to lean on at the end of the world.”

“…the room will still be too empty. So I try to hold on to them as long as I can.

Their faces, voices, what they were like when they were happy, and safe, and free. I’m tired of hearing the same stories that reduce their lives to their deaths. Just for a little while I wanna remember the time before Pulse was the place where they were lost.

Back when we’d went there to be saved.”

Orlando will always have my heart.

I figured this part was coming, how could it not, but it still breaks my heart to read about it.

Yeah. Perfect devastation.

Hurts just as much the second time.

Kaine Ferron, you poor broken man.
