"Her eyes are liquid, pupils blown. Beneath her ribs, her heart beats languorously. She looks as though she's underwater—out of reach. She is always just out of reach. He wonders if that's what makes the poets write. If they're all composing sonnets to the things they cannot touch."

need Lysander's chapters injected into my veins 🤌🏻

"Suddenly, all he can see is her. All he can hear is her. The too-fast clip of her heart. The frantic rush of her pulse. The soft plink of her blood dripping to the floor. In that moment—her eyes shining with a resolve he feels all the way down in his gut—she doesn't look like an obstinate girl from Little Hill. She looks like ruination."

"He's burned into me, I think, like a brand. I'll never recover from him."

"Just pure want, affection and admiration pouring from her lips and sinking so deep into my skin that I know I'll never get her out.
I don't want to."

"And I want to be hers. almost more than I want her to be mine."

"She kissed me to the point that I almost felt like I wasnt broken anymore."

🥺🥺🥺

"I think we should stop seeing each other—for a while anyway."

noooooooooooooooooooooooooo 😭😭

"His face softens, and his voice is calm. He puts the fighting gloves down and takes a step toward me. "Fi, what do you want from me?"
His eyes plead with me. He's throwing me a lifeline in the form of a question, and all I have to do is answer it. Honestly. But I can't. I'd rather drown."

🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

"He dragged a hand down his face. For a moment, he looked undone. Conquered. Like she had bewitched him."

I'm living for this 🤌🏻

"Bram.
The name sounded in her head, and she tested the contours of it, wondering if it would turn into poison if she swallowed it. It felt as foreign to her tongue as some of the Algaraan words she'd practiced from her vocabulary books, the consonants at war with each other.
There was no peace to be had from that name, only invasion."

okay, I'm only 100 pages in and I'm barely past the mid point in part 1, but I really hope this picks up soon 'cause I'm not really feeling it so far 😕 which is disappointing considering how many great reviews it has so far

"I cannot imagine the morally depraved task you will assign to me as your employee."
He gave a slow grin. "I tend to leave the depravity to myself."
"To work under such a man—"
His brows rose faintly. "No one said anything about you working under me."

😂😂😂

"I had a dream . . ." He never takes his eyes off my lips when he speaks.
"One of your nightmares?" Our voices are low, but we're so close I can hear him perfectly.
"No. A dream that you kissed me."



these two are gonna be the death of me

"Who was it?"
"Just a girl."
"Just a girl?"
"From a dream."



*repeats* i know who that is i know who that is sheisnotjustagirl 😭

"[. . .] there's no one else"

After a minute, he hands my phone back to me and looks me dead in the eye. "I would."

OHMYGOD OHMYGODDDD OJMUGODHSHDHDHSHDHDHDHHSHXHDHS AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I'm so addicted to this and to them, I'm ready to call out from work just so we can spend more time together 😩🤌🏻

😌😌😌

"Anyway," Rachel continues, "she told me that sometimes. when you lose your happiness, it's best to look for it the same way you'd look for anything else."
"By groaning and hurling couch cushions around?" I guess.
"By retracing your steps," Rachel says. "So, Poppy, all you have to do is think back and ask yourself, when was the last time you were truly happy?"

"I hope [this book] reminds you that you're neither much nor too little. I hope as you read it, you remember that you belong, always."

omg, Emily stahp ✋️😭 haven't even started u are already making me cry

"You're worth everything. All that I am and more than I deserve."

SIR, stop this right now 😭😭😭😭

"I thought you felt something for me."
"And I thought you knew better."

"When the world is sometimes frightening, surviving is its own kind of art form."

"Stop flirting with me."
"Why? Scared by how much you like it?" He winked at her.
"Actually, yes," Ravenna said, and he blinked as if he weren't expecting the truth from her. "You can't mean anything by it other than to hurt me, which is cruel. So stop with your come-hither bedroom voice. You're wasting your flattery."

LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOO you tell him girl 🤣🤣🤣

"A strange feeling unsettled him, like hearing a single haunting note in a quiet room, its resonance hinting at a symphony far richer and more complex than expected. Ravenna Maffei was no simple tune; she lingered, an echo in his mind he couldn't quiet, no matter how much he wished to."

😏😏😏

"You look like a dream," he murmurs.
"You don't dream." I laugh.
"I do. I dream of you."
