“Do you ever lie awake wondering if I’m some kind of joke God is playing on you?”

“No. I lie awake worrying that you might disappear and never come back. I lie awake brooding about some of the stuff I sort of half know about in the future. But I have total faith in the idea that we are supposed to be together.”

“Total faith.”

“Don’t you?”

c: to happiness. to here and now.
h: to world enough and time.

i spoiled the ending for myself :(

“She’s a child, and then again she isn’t. “What’s wrong?” It comes out so quietly that I have to ask her to repeat it: “It’s just that I thought maybe you were married to me.”

“Maybe I’m dreaming you. Maybe you’re dreaming me; maybe we only exist in each other’s dreams and every morning when we wake up we forget all about each other.”

“How’d that happen?”

“You threw a shoe at me.” I don’t remember ever throwing anything at Henry.

“Did not.”

“Did too. We just met for the very first time, and as soon as you laid eyes on me you said, ‘That’s the man I’m going to marry,’ and you pasted me one. I always said you were an excellent judge of character.”

“It is bright pink and orange with a loud geometric pattern. Exactly the sort of thing you’d want to be wearing when you meet your future wife for the first time.”

i like birds :D

“couples stroll down the sidewalks and there we are with them, in the morning sunlight, hand in hand, finally together for anyone to see. I feel a tiny pang of regret, as though I’ve lost a secret, and then a rush of exaltation: now everything begins.”

“I hate to be where she is not, when she is not. And yet, I am always going, and she cannot follow.”

i have a feeling this is going to be a good book

i’d say that the reason i’m such a slowpoke at reading books is because i like physical copies, but the stack of books beside my bed would beg to differ

i wonder if the choppy sentence structure is intentional on rooney’s part. it almost appears to reflect peter’s “sick in the head” mental state, as though the discordance of the sentences is a mirror to peter’s way of thinking after his fathers funeral. i’m not a huge fan of the way it’s written so far - its a little hard to follow along with - but i do appreciate the symbolism behind it

i need more books like the people we keep

guess was very off and i have the mini version so page numbers don’t match :/

ok so my guess was very off
