Wow. Only a few reads in and I’ve sobbed through all 29% of this book.

Eyes are puffy. Nose all red. Pretty sure tissue is stuck on my nose and lashes. I even have my kids questioning why my face is so red.

Nobody warned me that this book would be soooo sad and I’d be this emotional.

On a side note, I do love how honest S and T are with each other.

Send more tissues!!

Holy. F*ng sh!t. I totally did not see that coming!!! Just finished chapter 36 and oh my gosh, 🤯🤭😳

Talk about how good and addicting this book is. I definitely won’t be able to sleep tonight!!! 😫 Send coffee!!

Just finished chapter 15.

Wow. It’s midnight and I’m sobbing. My heart is shattered into a million pieces for Monk. 😩😭😔💔

Wow, chapter 64 crushed me. I am in tears. 😭

The tension from the run-in in the bathroom with Easton & Natalie to the live performance on stage.

All while Nate and Natalie are both hurt and crushed as every lyric, melody and passion is felt through the band’s performance. Wow. 😭

“ I missed out on a chance to make you mine before, but I don’t plan on making the same mistake again. We’re the real deal, sweetheart, and I’m done letting you believe anything else.”

Pg. 382 - “I can’t get enough of you.”

“Because I want to give you 100 different reasons to stay.” 😭🥹

“I’m falling in love with you, Dahlia. I don’t expect you to say it back after everything you’ve been through this year, but I didn’t want to go another night without you knowing how I feel. Just like I can’t go another day with you thinking I’m OK with us keeping things casual.”

Oh my gosh. I’m crying laughing. I’m literally in tears!!

Kitchen scene after Lucie returns from spending a night with Aiden.

“Don’t you lie to me, Lucille. You’re standing there bow-legged, you’re wearing the same sweatshirt I saw Aiden in two weeks ago, and you’re making a cup of coffee without the cup for the coffee.”

“I kissed you because I wanted to Lucie. I’ve been wanting to and I think – I think I got tired of pretending I don’t. My crush isn’t going anywhere. I think it would be easier for both of us if it was, but… It’s not. That’s what I should’ve told you when I walked you to your car, but I think I left my brain in the studio.“

Pg 274 (con’t) - “What she needs is to see her mom prioritize her own happiness for once. So she can learn to do the same.”

As a mom who’s constantly putting my needs and wants on the back burner, this is such a great reminder Mateo. Thank you. ☺️

Wow - this line definitely hit home.

Pg. 274 - “She’s been missing you, not needing you. You’ve met all of her needs with unfailing precision for the past twelve years. Now it’s time to do something for you.” -Mateo

“I feel sheltered by Kendi and our tent and this perfect trip. I hug him long. His presence on the night of mob’s death used to feel like a betrayal, but now it feels like a gift time. We can wash dirt off a memory until it is revealed at some as something else entirely.”

I truly hope their friendship blossoms into something beautiful. They both deserve it!
