Oh man, I'm so pissed for her right now

Currently loving this

I understand why everyone loves this 🥲 the hype is real

Been so long since I read a dark academia, it was time 💆🏻‍♀️

It started off with a Sylvia Plath quote - that says everything I need to know about what's coming 🥲

Is the husband the true villain because it's feeling like he might be lol

Could probably finish this in one sitting if I didn't stop myself. It's so suspenseful 👀

"You think you get more than one Anna in a lifetime? That you'll feel a connection like that again? I saw you together. Beats me what she saw in yourself, but I'm telling you: it was legit."

🥲

Y i k e s

Every time I put this book down for an extended period of time and pick it back up, I wonder how I ever put it down in the first place

Stabbing myself in the chest would hurt less than this

I'm on the edge of my seat 👀

"When I say I'm still in love with you, I mean the first time I saw you and right now. I mean every second in between."

😭

"I wished for him," I admit, my heart in my throat again. "Then I blew out the candle and the wish came true. That's how it's been ever since."

Omg

"When you know who you're becoming, it's a lot easier to make peace with who you've been."

You may fear the quiet times in your life, when your soul goes through a winter. However, it's often those times when the most profound & human work of all is being completed. Be still. Do nothing. It is both the quiet & the noise that writes the symphony, the blank canvas & the paint that makes the picture, the rest & the movement that gives you the wisdom, insight & clarity to press forward more boldly than ever

"I know I did the right thing. It just doesn't feel all that right at the moment."

Real

"You deserve to be happy, I hope you know that."

'And you're sure there wasn't a hint of... you know. The old magic between you? Because seriously, I don't want you to risk being upset again ...'

'There was absolutely no old magic!' I protest. And I mean it. The magic was in the hope. And that hope is long gone.

You're not sure what you're waiting for exactly but think maybe you're holding out for love again or at least the feeling that comes before it, the one that says, This has the potential to turn into love.

"You both laugh, and just like that, the two of you convince yourselves that you are in a safe position to share an innocuous drink, as a reward for your abstinence, when in actual fact this meeting will undo the last six weeks of work and be the striking of the match that scorches all stable ground as you currently know it."

🆘

"At times... I'd imagine what our kids would look like- ...But then at other times I think I only wanted to, like I was engineering my image of the future to fit him into it rather than actually seeing him in it for real. I mean, how do you work out the difference between what you want and what you're telling yourself to want?"
