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?"

Set in Ireland ✅ rockstar romance ✅ second chance ✅


A 5 star is on the horizon as far as my interests go bc it's checking all my boxes, and the writing is good tooooo

"As we drove away, I looked at the door where I had first met him, and wondered, had I not gone for that cigarette break, if any of this would be happening now... it seemed impossible that it had worked out as it had. And although it was awful, it had, at times, been magical. It had been transformative beyond my wildest dreams. In that moment, I wouldn't have taken a day of it back."


‼️‼️‼️

"As I sat and watched my friends move around the table that last night, it became clear to me just how disconnected I had become from them, from my own life. I knew no way back, maybe because I didn't want one, maybe because I was so sick of myself and the inside of my skin that I could see nothing that would halt me as I moved further forward into inevitable self-destruction."


Oh 😭

I have absolutely no clue what she sees in this man

She told her friends/ flatmates that she was dreading her birthday because her mom isn't alive to make it special anymore - one of the things she used to do was make heart-shaped pancakes in the morning - so they made and brought her heart-shaped pancakes for breakfast first thing when she woke up 🥲

Don't you dare tell me I was the better option on paper. Surely you know that's not what love is.

🥲❤️‍🩹🆘

Get you a guy who changes the date on your iPhone to your birthday, and then uses it as an excuse to treat you all day as if it really is it

I think about this book so much whenever I put it down 🥲

I love when I find a hidden gem of a book serendipitously 🥲

2010. A new year, a fresh start. Things were about to happen, I felt it, although I had no idea just what was coming. If you'd told me then, I would never have believed you.

The suspense of everything and how good the writing is makes me obsessed already.

I feel like this would make a good movie

Don't know if I can bare the present day chapters when they return but I need to get back to them ASAP to know for sure what happens, even though I have an idea (and I hate it 💔)
