Kyna (Wright) Desrosiers’s Reviews > Passion Project > Status Update

WOW. My heart dropped & I almost cried when they had their argument but love wins out and they are back together again!

Their love story reminds me of my husband & I’s story somewhat so I have honestly been remembering how we started and all of those feelings have come flooding back

Favorite quotes from this chunk:

“Having your shit together is not a prerequisite for love” (p.224)

“Being up here makes me feel small, but being with you makes me feel significant” (p. 231)

Wow, reading about Sam made me cry.

I will say that how Henry makes Bennet feel is how my husband made me feel when we first met. I had built this wall up after a tough relationship and slowly after I met him, my wall started coming down and I could see myself becoming me again.

“I feel soft, safe, seen.” That’s honestly all anyone wants 🩷

Sometimes we forget that all of our “old” friends have seen so many different versions of ourselves and they still love us anyways.

They get to love us how we are now, how we were Ll the those years ago, and every single phase and moment in between!

I love that Bennet did that for Sonya & they could talk it out. I’m loving this read, it’s cute ;)

“Just because you keep everything locked up in a cage doesn’t mean the rest of us have to. Just because you think you’re all alone doesn’t mean you are. People care about you. People want to care about you. Stop pretending we’re the enemy. It’s really tiring.”

I had a friend tell me something similar and it hurt but helped me see the light a bit more, hopefully that happens for Bennet!

“I want to be this Bennet, the clean one, because the more trash you accept in your life, the more you feel like you deserve it. I don’t want to feel like I deserve it anymore.”

I love this quote, it reminds me so much of my own thoughts I’d have after grieving

Okay I’m enjoying Bennet & Henry and their banter, I have laughed quite a bit these last few chapters. I do hope that Bennet continues to come out of her shell!

A fav quote from a few pages back:
“All stories are love stories”

Okay…let’s see how well this “passion project” works out for Henry and Bennet
