“No, no, no. It’s a coincidence. Probably the universe telling me I need to be nicer to my sister.”

Yes everyone needs to be nicer to Audrey Virginia Cobalt!

Just like you can’t know if Ben will be okay next week, next month, next year. Neither of us can control what happens with our brothers, man. But I do know we can’t sacrifice our dreams for them. They wouldn’t want us to. That…that might actually kill my brother. I think if I give up any more for him, it will be too much.”

Oh jeez I love this book

Ben lets out a tired laugh. “I’m glad I’m predicable, honestly. I’m glad you’re all here.”

Such a big switch up for Ben from Burn Bright and I’m so happy for him!!

“For that long,” I rasp out. “You’ve had me, Tom.” He’s not boastful or smug. His blue eyes skate affectionately across my features. “Being loved by you has been the greatest pleasure of my life.”

Oh I’m in tears!!

Our parents would have no choice but to be happy for both of us. But then I quit Nothing Personal’s crew. I joined The Carraways. And the fact that they gave me approval and withheld it from Birdie in the very same fucking breath—I know it’s messed him up. Bad.

Oh poor birdie…that’s really is messed up

Birdie stands up while I test the kick drum. “Cobalts are acting like the sky is falling because why?”
“You know why.”
“Their little sister wants to move in with them.” He bends back to the floor tom.
“What kind of girl has five brothers in a major tailspin?
“I’ve barely met her, man.”
“Hope to never,”

Birdie that is your future wife you’re talking about!!

“She’s a whore,” Hope says more confidently, brows arching. “She has seduced my boyfriends, neighborhood boys, any man with a dick between his legs. Something is not right with her—and she will cheat on Benja—Ben. She will cheat on Ben the first chance she gets.”

Oh she’s going to be on the same level as Samantha Calloway hatred is for me! I hate the woman

“Phoenix,” Tom says, on edge, as he motions a stiff hand toward the woman. “This is Hope Danes. Harriet’s mom.”

Oh nah, get that women out of here! Harriet I’ll swing for you

It hurts. “I don’t think we are, Eliot.” I face my sister who blinks back tears. “I’m sorry, Audrey, but I don’t want you to move in with us.” “Cobalts are the strongest united as one,” Audrey says tearfully, trying to sway me, and she’s doing a decent job. Especially when she says, “Ensemble.” Together. “Ensemble,” Eliot chimes in.

I’m genuinely is shock of the division in the house!

I can’t imagine she’s ready to be an empty nester five months ahead of schedule. Mom was devastated when Eliot and I left home. The night we were packing, I overheard her crying in her bedroom. It solidified what I knew—Eliot and I are her favorites. But Audrey is her youngest daughter. She’ll at least shed one tear for her.

I need a bunch of bonus scenes of Rose and Connor being empty nesters
