Potent quotables
He doesn’t have the competence to back up his confidence.
All loves aren’t created equal. Some spring from the earth and wrap around and twine through our souls like vines. Some are plants that start with tiny seeds in your heart and blossom over time, nurtured by years and commitment.
I never knew if it was just for her passing or for the years they’d missed because when he’d met the love of his life, he hadn’t been ready for her.
There aren’t enough sonnets for friendship. Not enough songs for the kind of love not born of blood or body but of time and care. They are the ones we choose to laugh and cry and live with. When lovers come and go, friends are the ones who remain. We are each other’s constants.
But my vibrator won’t break my heart and won’t set unrealistic expectations for what I’m getting from a relationship.
I want to know that if I am alone, it doesn’t mean I have to be lonely. That I can be content. I’m taking time to know and understand myself better. To converse with my heart. To listen to it.
It’s as much an entreaty as it is a kiss—a soft pleading passed between our lips, an invitation to stay while I figure my shit out because I don’t want to imagine him out of my life.
Lit review
I'm such a big fan of this series that I messaged Kennedy Ryan like a weirdo once; I think it was right after reading this book.
She was very kind.
