"Regular people can't afford to be so free with their love. We have to reserve it for the people who will benefit us."
"You've got it all wrong," I whisper. "You do things for people because you love them. Not the other way around."
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

"When I was little, I thought the word meant 'golden fireworks.' I don't know why or how I connected the two. But when I see you...every time, Twinkle, I feel those golden fireworks inside me. And the only reason I can think of is that you have some kind of chamatkaar. You must be a special kind of miracle."

"I've only been in love once. It happened when I was eleven. And it's still happening...I know it's complicated for you. But, Twinkle, I just wanted you to know it's not complicated for me. It's never been complicated for me when it comes to you. I just want to be honest. I'm not trying to freak you out."

"Again, I got the feeling there was so much happening I couldn't see. Sahil was an iceberg. Ninety-seven percent of him was under the surface. He clearly didn't want to talk about it, and I didn't want to be the Titanic, so I nodded"

"That's when I realized the truth: I'd get stuck with Sahil in a cabin any day of the week, anytime. I'd even get stuck with Sahil in an econ class because I like being with him so much. I'd choose spending time with him over peanut butter chocolate ice cream. And over the Peanut Butter Chocolate Mountain Majesty cupcake."

I started this series six months ago and held off on delving into the last of the trilogy because I never wanted it to end! A few hours in, and I only have two thirds to go! Marie Lu better not break my heart! 💔💔💔

Why is this such a slow read?!?

It is as cute as I imagined! ❤❤❤

"Already the memory of the boy feels like a dream you try to remember the very first moment you wake up. Fuzzy, wispy, and out of reach."

Now that I am more invested in the characters than during its slow start, I should finish before it expires in 3 days.

I love Ausma's adult mystery novels so obviously I wanted to review an ARC of her new middle grade non-fiction book! ❤❤❤

Just realised this is Zeph and Sophia from her earlier book! ❤❤❤

Much needed black woman social worker representation in literature! ❤❤❤

Michelle Obama's oldest college friend! 😂

My Overdrive library copy expired! 😞

ICE?

Awww!

Such a struggle given the poor editing!!!

In awe of this brilliance! ❤

Despite my tendency to devour books I find enjoyable, this gem feels like every contribution deserves to be savoured!

Much needed distraction!

Rochelle Alers did not disappoint!

Despite my general preference to start and finish only a book at a time, I may be better off breaking up this heartbreaking exploration with another ARC that is less traumatizing.

Yes!

Awww!

Come on, Andrea?!?

Connecting!

Obviously!

Definitely saw that one coming!
