“A man thinks he can fly, but he is afraid to jump. A poor friend pushes him from behind. A good friend jumps with.”

‘Home isn’t where you’re from, it’s where you find light when all grows dark.’

"Hudson is the Death Star, and that woman is Luke, about to blow his ass up"
"That's a shitty analogy"
"Is it, though?"
"We could go with you're the Titanic and she's the iceberg, or she's Oppenheimer and you're the test site in New Mexico"

This made me laugh 😂

“Sorry to break your fairytale, Little Fox, but ballads don’t end happily, and neither do the two of us.”

Third reread and still holds up 💔

"You're the one who left me first, I'll remind you. I was willing to run away with you. I was ready to leave everything I ever knew, burn my life down, just as long as I could have you in the ashes.
But you walked across the hall to my brother's room like it was easy."

Damnnnn! It took a while for something to happen but this HIT.

“I used to think just being there was enough. Me, tall and steady at Cara’s side. It’s always been enough, because she’s never needed a knight in shining armor. She always saves herself. But now … now I feel like I’m standing on the shoreline, watching her drown, and I don’t know how to swim. I don’t know how to save her.”

There’s gonna be excessive quoting here and I AM NOT SORRY!

“I know you’re just making conversation,” I start softly, “but next time you’re thinking about telling someone they’re lucky they don’t have kids, I encourage you to remember that you have no idea what someone else is going through.”

😭💔😭💔

“You’ve done nothing wrong,” Hank tells me with gentle certainty. “Not a thing, Cara. You hear me? It’s not the answer you’re looking for, I know, but sometimes these things just happen. There’s no rhyme or reason, and that’s harder than if there was, because you spend your days chasing an answer you’ll never get. It’ll tear you up. Break you.”

“Being with him is like stepping into the light, lifting my face to the sky, and bathing myself in everything warm and good and safe, not knowing how I ever lived before my soul found his.”

“And you love it. You want someone crazy for you, someone whose eyes are gonna follow you whenever you’re in the room. Someone who’s never gonna shut up about you. Who wants you at your best, your worst, and when you’re old and gray.”

Oh stop it Emmett!!!! ❤️

“Happy birthday,”
“What did you get?”
“You.”

😍😍😍😍😍😍

I was enjoying this until that very very abrupt ending… like hellloooo? I thought I was missing the other half.

“I don’t want to choose. I always have to choose, and I never get to choose you. I’m so tired of not getting to choose you.”

😭💔😭💔

"I'm sure there's something poetic in it all, but right now all I feel is a new set of manacles."

"So forgive me if I dislike looking at you. I'm still adjusting to the ways these new ones chafe."

This hurts just as much as it did when I read Manacled 😭😭😭😭

“You made me feel like the parts of me that aren’t useful still deserve to exist. Like I’m not just all the things I can do.”

😭😭😭😭😭😭

“You’re like a rose in a graveyard,” he said, and his lips twisted into a bitter smile. “I wonder what you could have turned into without the war.”

🥺🫣🥺🫣🥺🫣

“But at this point I suppose I deserve to burn. I wonder if you’ll burn, too.”


FERAL. I am FERAL.

"I promised every time you asked, I promised I was yours always. There aren't any exemptions or expiration dates on always."

I will need therapy after this. I am so unwell.

“I’m chained to a sinking ship. You cannot expect me to take you with me.”

😭😭😭😭

BRB. Currently questioning my existence.

"I feel like I can breathe…. Like I've been drowning so long I forgot what oxygen felt like."

Girl. Same. 😅 This book is so dark. It feels like there is no light in sight.

Doing a reread. Hoping this will get me out of my reading slump.

“The Malfoy men may not be saints, but they worship their women fervently."

🖤🖤🖤

*Careful. In nature, beauty is a warning. The pretty ones are often poisonous."

“You should wait… and it doesn’t have to be for anything specific. I’m just saying—wait for the weight of the world to pass. Wait until the tremors that wrack through your skull drift into the depths again. Wait until the sun rises, and the light makes you feel a little less pointless.”

“If you want to live where people are not afraid of mice, you must give up living in palaces.”

The last 30ish pages had me shook. However aside from that, it was a cozy-ish read with a hint of mystery. I enjoyed it.

“All I could do now was try to hold on to the parts of her I could still reach. Hold on for dear life and pray she didn’t slip from my fingers.”

I am so unwell. 😭 This is too much.

I. AM. NOT. OKAY.

Lets dooo a reread ❤️

"It ends a handful of minutes from now. After you've won, and there is one less Omen in the world."
"It ends when you kiss me."
"You mean it ends after I've won, and there is one less Omen in the world—and I hit you as hard as I can."
"With your mouth."
