“Tell me that you’ve been thinking about me the way I’ve been thinking about you.” 🥺🥺🥺

Lena is absolutely intolerable lol idc what she’s going through or how old she is 😬 but I also have this feeling she’s a lesbo idk

“I have no desire to be modest and retiring. In my experience, you get a lot further by being pushy! Don’t be modest and retiring, Anne. It will get you nowhere.”

“Lena was not a beautiful baby.” Who thinks this about their kid? Maybe I’m just biased because I have the most beautiful baby in the world 🥺

“I’m tired, but I’m not sleepy.”

“There was so much I missed about Spencer—things I’d taken for granted. What it was like having someone who knew what kind of toothpaste you preferred. Who knew what would cheer you up on a shitty day. Who knew exactly where you liked to be touched. Someone who knew you.”

“It wasn’t just about getting off—I could do that on my own—it was about the other things. The little similarities that you learned when you were naked in front of someone. The secrets you couldn’t hide from each other when your bodies were fused. When you came together and came apart. There were something there. Something important. To me, at least.”

“I’d known back then that those times were precious and fleeting. It’s what they warned all moms. I just hadn’t realized that when she outgrew that need, she’d also move completely out of arm’s reach. That when she stopped wanting it—stopped needing it—that was the time when I would miss it the most.”

“Once I asked Bob why he didn’t want a home.”
“Everywhere is my home. I am a wild beast,my friend: untamed and undaunted.”

The irony 😞

As if Jamie didn’t cheat too. Just bc they didn’t have sex doesn’t make it not cheating. They kissed && he cheated emotionally too

Every single character in this book is so incredibly toxic and unlikeable

“It should be weird for you to go camping with us, but it’s not. You’re not flirting with any of us. You’re not saying stupid shit.” - a guy that can’t be friends w/females bc he’s a fucking weirdo aka Charlie

“My visitors are often surprised when they see the TV Mack put in my domain. They seem to find it odd, the sight of a gorilla staring at tiny humans in a box. Sometimes I wonder, though: Isn’t the way they stare at me, sitting in my tiny box, just as strange?”

“With enough time, you can get used to anything.”

“This must be heaven. My two favorite girls in one place. I’m the luckiest man alive.” -a man saying this on his wedding weekend? Byeeee ✌🏼 🤮

“The collective consensus was that it would be better if we all moved on. That the funeral had been the period on the end of that sentence. That it was our responsibility - to the community, to the world, to ourselves - to be okay now. To I just get over it.”

After the funeral, it was as if my father had never existed. No one spoke about him. We never saw that college friend of his again. We didn’t get stopped on the street anymore. We just got those sad, poor-you looks as ppl hurried away from us as if grief were contagious. As if mentioning my father would kill him all over again.”

“I resented him. Resented anyone who thought they knew what it meant to lose my dad.”

“Years of being with him - being loved like that - had taught me that what mattered was how someone made you feel. That stopping to entertain your own insecurities in the face of desire like this was a waste of time.”

Gabe: She’s very good [at cooking]. Bakes too.
Ben: I can’t do either. However, I have been told that I’m quite an accomplished eater.

“He made it sound filthy. I didn’t mind at all.” 🌶️

“She didn’t know that grief felt like the slowest moving quicksand, pulling me down inch by inch, rib by rib. She didn’t know how there were evenings when I lay down in bed & couldn’t recall a single thing I’d done that day. She didn’t know that my head, my heart, my body, were still completely disconnected from one another&I couldn’t even remember what it was like to be a whole person.”

“You know I hate cliches” 🙄 pick me FMC is back

Twisted little mind? Ok manipulative af & no accountability on his part for his actions w Shayla? Try explaining yourself before flipping things (not that I’m excusing B’s cheating)

“Would you be mad if I kissed you right now?”
“Yes,” I lied.
“Then I hope you’ll forgive me later.”
