"It wasn’t that he minded her talking about sex. He just wanted to be prepared for it so he could act like a seasoned and stoic officer of the law instead of a blushing teenager." Oh, he's like a less repressed version of Ben Lawson. Be still my heart.

I am so in love with Tina Chen already.

SO MUCH IS HAPPENING (!!!)

"The two boys were friendly, but not friends. Henry ran with the Vancouver crowd, and Gansey ran with dead Welsh kings."

I don’t love him. But I take a treacherous delight in him.

"When he smiled, the skin at the corners of his eyes crinkled like a leaf held to flame."

PLEASE tell me lara jean and josh don't end up together. it's weirding me out a little, the whole sister's ex thing.

'I liked the way he said, Nice to meet you, Ari. Like he meant it.'

WHAT A DELIGHTFUL BOOK

Oh my God this is so good. I feel like I'm reading the romance version of Hustle but with 75% more feminism.

3.5 stars. Lovely and unique characters, but MAR's writing style is still a bit TOO MUCH sometimes. She has improved since her novellas and I think that with the influence of Knox, Bell, Grant etc, she'll get to the 4 stars soon enough.

"He was never going to forget her. He’d think of her when he was old and crotchety, and he’d smile. He’d tell his nurse, 'I touched the sun, once.'"

THIS BOOK WAS SO BEAUTIFUL.

Finn starts walking again, and now there's a bit of strut to it. He says, "Dory Maud said you were a good bet."

"She stands beside Corr, looking up at him. I want her to love him."

What she said was, “Would you like to marry me?”

"It looks like you won, Kate Connolly."

Are we supposed to like Mark? Because I don't. I just don't trust smooth dudes anymore.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

"Now all I can think of is where she is and how much I love her. And I start to cry again."

"It's like being in love, discovering your best friend."

"If a girl punches someone, she’s crazy. If a guy punches someone, he’s dealing with his feelings. He’s normal."

"In a hasty, water-stained scrawl, it said, Glendower is underground. So am I." INCOHERENT SCREECHING.

“And then what?” Maura asked. The Gray Man looked at her. “I run.” Oh man this is getting really messy really quickly.

“I wish you could be kissed, Jane,” he said. “Because I would beg just one off you. Under all this.” He flailed an arm toward the stars. “And then we’d never say anything about it again.”

"She beamed at him. She had one of those lovely, open, perfect smiles, genuinely happy and very beautiful. The Gray Man thought, This is the worst decision I’ve ever made." I SHOULD PROBABLY NOT BE SHIPPING THIS AS HARD AS I AM.

“While I’m gone,” Gansey said, pausing, “dream me the world. Something new for every night.”

"Ronan looked at him.That look, Blue thought. Ronan Lynch would do anything for Gansey." Oh, Ronan is breaking my heart. IF HE DOESN'T GET A HEA OUT OF THIS SERIES I QUIT EVERYTHING.

"Blue was a fanciful but sensible thing, like a platypus, or one of those sandwiches that had been cut into circles for a fancy tea party."

"The thing was, Ronan knew what a face looked like, just before it was about to break. He’d seen it in the mirror often enough. Adam had fracture lines all over him."
