Tell me why I have neglected this five star prediction for over a month?? Time to lock in!

Aah. Nesta! You make me heart sad!

"When the darkest part of you needs the darkest part of me, it creates light."

Waitttttt... Is this how all of Maas' series will be linked??

"The instinct crept up, a rising wave, each word selected to slice and wound. She'd always had that gift, if it could be called that. Yer it wasn't a curse, not entirely. It had served her well."

“You loved me - then what right had you to leave me? What right - answer me- for the poor fancy you felt for Linton? Because misery and degradation, and death, and nothing that God or Satan could inflict would have parted us, you, of your own will, did it. I have not broken your heart - you have broken it; and in breaking it, you have broken mine."

"His abode at the Heights was an oppression past explaining. I felt that God had forsaken the stray sheep there to its own wicked wanderings, and an evil beast prowled between it and the fold, waiting his time to spring and destroy."

"he's more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of, him and mine are the same."

"Ah, I thought, there will be no saving him - He's doomed, and flies to his fate."

My favourite ever book 🖤

Well, I didn't see that coming!!!

"I've always used pain to fuel my anger, to keep myself going. It washes over me, burning and biting, and I swallow it down. It ignites something in me.

Something merciless. Determined. Unstoppable."

My first five-star feeling with a book, since forever!!!

"He gives me a long look, then kisses me again. It’s not rushy or urgent. It’s not a bookend kiss, he’s not signing off, he doesn’t say goodbye—he just kisses me, hands in my hair, soft and melty, and then he slips out of my room.
His kisses are commas."

"You can’t avoid the avalanche of emotions that come with the termination of a relationship; you can only prolong them, which I refused to do. I looked every feeling I felt square in the eye and stared it down... The grief would come in waves, and I’d miss him on certain days, at certain hours, but for the most part, I had closure, because it wasn’t rejection and no one fucked up. We were in love and it didn’t work."

"If he was more like me, he would have pushed. The truth, no matter the cost. But all our lives, Oliver has loved me in a way where he’d never hurt me; even if hurting me meant loving me the most, he couldn't."

He gives me a long look again and then shakes his head. “That’s not why you’re sad.”
I bellow, “Who the fuck asked you!”
He shrugs gently. “I don’t know, Georgia—I think maybe the more important question is, who didn’t ask you?”

Liking this less than Magnolia Parks right now but am so invested in the family drama already!

"Privilege begets more privilege, a never-ending cycle."

"I'm absolutely fucking sick of it. Of living a life where I just accept I have no control, that our children can just disappear and no one will do a single thing about it."

Am I reading a fantasy or about the state of our own world right now???

"Women in pain give men confidence. It stirs up something instinctive, deep inside them, that makes them believe they have the upper hand, even if every logical piece of evidence screams at them they do not."

"But that’s not how pain works… You ignore it and it just sinks down deeper. It lodges itself in the corners of our memories, hangs off tree branches on Callawassie Drive. It hides under the pews in the back row of the church. It gets caught in a pile of sheets no one knew what to do with."

"The superpower of being young is that you're closest to being nothing - which is also the same as being very old."

"We murder ourselves, he thought, by remembering."

"Peter was just that brilliant, arrogant, and absent-minded all at once; a combination of traits that only talented men like him could be, for the world forgave them any number of transgressions as long as they dazzled. For Peter, probably, making a date was the same thing as making small talk; it smoothed things over, and didn't signify commitment."
