“Within the half hour Briony would commit her crime.”

Alas, I have reached the doomed chapter.

"Bound by an iron principle of self-love, she would stay out longer in the darkness, wrapping herself in some fabricated misfortune, so that the general relief when she appeared would be all the more intense, and all the attention would be hers."

“Robbie stared at the woman, the girl he had always known, thinking the change was entirely in himself, and was as fundamental, as fundamentally biological as birth.”

"Her latest and best piece, bought to celebrate the end of finals, before she knew about her miserable third, was the figure-hugging dark green bias-cut backless evening gown with a halter neck."

Briony when I catch you...

When he cares so much that he would have her hate him than for her to die

Good pacing so far. The way I feel enraged for the FMC is fueling me to read this to 2 am.

"Her laughter adjusts the spin of his atoms."

"I'm sorry. I always have." iykyk 😭😭

“I have never wanted anything as desperately, as ungovernably, as persistently as I want you...Absolutely nothing has consumed me mercilessly as you have." ❤️❤️

Bring back YEARNING

‘You have to know, I want to tell him. You have to know that I’ve been in love with you for three years longer than it was wise.’

I thought YOU KNEW

“And I hope you won’t waste more of my time.”

We love a girl who stands up for herself and demand respect and communication

“What’s a tiny little bit of heartbreak, when faced with the vastness of mankind? Does it matter that a love is unrequited, if the universe started with a hot fireball and will end in the same way?”

“He smiles, staring at me in that way that I sometimes wonder if I imagined – enchanted. Sweet, almost.”

"...but I don't think you mean that. Do you regret giving birth to Miki? Can't you see that saying sorry can only mean that it was your mistake to have her?"

"It is much easier to conceal sadness from a stranger, or from someone you don't trust."

‘But the letter had nothing to do with his condition. It wouldn’t change the fact that he had forgotten her, either.’ - Husband and Wife

“Not just natural but inevitable.” 💛🌟

"And what they wrote about him was true. He loved her, but he didn't treat her like he loved her."

"I just mean, you've pushed me away, kissed me, and insulted me," I say. "And now you're formally proposing friendship."

Mr Darcy and Elizabeth, is that you?

I have a sudden wave of nostalgia

I feel the competition between them. They really are rivals (at the start, at least).

First line and already a banger

“Their politeness was excruciating, an attempt on both sides to claw back credibility.”

'For someone who had potentially unlimited access to life, he was required to think about death more often than desired.'

How ironic it is for someone who's the chair of a miracle, life-extending drug. I guess at the end of the day, we're still human.
