“But does more money ever become an ugly thing? When does it stop saving your life and start destroying it?”

“People make promises to one another that they will stay in touch their whole lives, that nothing will change. Then they grow up, move away, and let go.”

That moment 🙈

It’s one of those books where something just clicks for me and I already love it and can’t put it down. I’m in love with the author’s writing style, I’ve been enchanted since the first sentence. I usually don’t like contemporary urban fantasy, but this is a great exception ❤️

“… alchemy is about that eternal ache in us for perfection. It is our regret over all the things we never achieved, all the dreams we never got to fulfill. It is the questions that haunt us in the late hours of the night. Who are you, and who are you becoming? What world have you entered into, and what world shall you leave behind? What will you do, so that you matter?”

High hopes🤞🏻🥹
