this book has made me feel nothing but pain so far

“He’s so miserable, Rosie goes on. He’s always tired and bored and uninterested in me.
That’s marriage, her mother says, and it takes Rosie a second to realize that she’s not even joking.”
this is a fear of mine

“They have not spoken for nearly two years. He does not want to draw her in again, doesn’t want to go there, even though he so badly wants to hear from her, to read her words on a screen, and he is furious with her, for that. ”

“When her phone buzzes and she sees Will’s name, she does not open the message right away. It has been so long since she saw it, like that, on her screen.”

this is stressing me out

“It felt dangerous, and this, she thinks, is the opposite. She feels steadied in Simon’s arms. Propped up. With Will, she never knew where she was, how he might make her feel.”

didn’t think the pushing down and praying would get this far, this is terrifying

WEDDING? this is ridiculous
