"You think I have no feelings, and that I can do without one bit of love or kindness; but I cannot live so." 🥀💔

Jane is truly mature and resilient for her age. I hope she leaves that house soon. She deserves to be happy.

"When millions of people believe fantasy over fact, choose emotion over reason, society can break down pretty quickly."

"To sink under trouble is to double the weight."

"All this could have been avoided if I were less pretty."✨🎀

Honestly, I am rooting for her. I'm looking forward to the moment Amy and Nick meet again.

"To be discouraged is to yield to the misfortune."

"You're telling me I have a daughter and I missed it all? The pregnancy? The birth? Everything?" 💔😭

"Eighteen months later..." I'm going to cry 😭
Theo better have a very good explanation for that "thanks for letting me know" text.

Officially in my cowgirl era ✨🌾

Perhaps the stream of consciousness writing style is the reason why I find myself struggling to focus and remain interested in what is being said.
And even though there are some great points that have stood out to me so far, I am not enjoying this book as much as I thought I would, considering the enormous popularity that both this work and its author have.

"You lords who swallow bribes, and try to judge / Uprightly, clear your minds of crookedness. / He hurts himself who hurts another man, / And evil planning harms the planner most." (Hesiod, lines 264-267) ~ Works and Days

"The fact is that men as well as other creatures are breathing their last in one way or another in just such numbers at the very instant when you're unable to make your mind up about death. You weren't thinking, surely, that you wouldn't yourself one day arrive at the destination towards which you've been heading from the beginning? Every journey has its end."

As I recently finished the TV series, I'm in the mood to read this one ;)

"Well, that's the best revenge right there, Garrett. Living well and being happy is how we get over the shit in our past."

"The painful warrior famousèd for might / After a thousand victories, once foiled/ Is from the book of honour razèd quite, / And all the rest forgot for which he toiled." ~ Sonnet 25 (9-13)

"...there's some deeper level of love that goes beyond poems and sonnets, a darker love that is so maddening, you crave to destroy what you love..." 🥀🖤

The fact that I hate Alex, yet still get butterflies with the things he says is beyond me. I'm being manipulated here.

"O that you were yourself; but, love, you are / No longer yours than you yourself here live." ~Sonnet 13 (1-2) 🥀

"Grant, if thou wilt, thou art beloved of many, / But that thou none lov'st is most evident: / For thou art so possessed with murd'rous hate / That 'gainst thyself thou stick'st not to conspire" ~ Sonnet 10 (3-6)

"I thought we might need protection."
She arches an accusatory eyebrow. "I am the protection."


I swear Blakely's a menace. I love her.

I have lots of expectations about this one. I'm so excited!

"Come, where is this young gallant that is so desirious to lie with his mother earth?"

No, but the fact Charles said this so arrogantly yet ended up being the one that had to be carried off after Orlando kicked his ass makes it even funnier. I'm loving this.

"Such intelligence! Such power! Such pride! Such freedom! Such good will! And yet such abismal idiocy!"

"So wel they lovede, as olde bookes sayn,
That whan that oon was deed, soothly to telle,
His felawe wente and soughte hym doun in helle."

Theseus and Perotheus ✨

"A sound mind can neither be bought or borrowed. And if it were for sale, I doubt whether it would find a buyer. And yet unsound ones are being purchased every day."

I am getting bored, honestly...

"Do not chase another human being. Instead, chase your curiosity. Chase your development and your goals. Chase your passion. Strive to work for something bigger than yourself, and instead of trying to convince someone that you fit within their world, strive to build your own."

"I’m poison the way I love" 🥀

I'm feeling nauseous at this point. This is so gross

When he buries her alive 💕🥰✨
And they say romance is dead...nonsense

This book is reminding me of the 'After' book series.
I don't know if I'm going to like this, but I want to give it a chance.
