Aiden Bell & Elijah Iverson

“The thing about falling in love is that by the time you realize it’s happened, it’s already too late.”
― Sierra Simone, Saint

“There is something wonderful about slow, languorous lovemaking, about tracing over someone’s body with loitering fingers and lips. The kind of sex that remits revelations which might sound infinitesimal to anyone else—the existence of a small scar, perhaps, or a few crisp hairs at the top of a foot—but that are life-changing in their discovery.” Aiden Bell & Elijah Iverson

“I find that fixed and unambiguous thinking is the mother of many sins. We forget that Christ was heterodox and radical. He was not safe, in his ideas or his passions or his presence, and he demanded everything of his followers, not the least their certainty that they knew all the shapes of right and wrong in their world. And so when I’m searching for a way forward, naively hunting for certainty, I’ve found that God judges me back to where God wants me. Which is in the middle of questions that feel unanswerable. I believe it is there - in the fire and friction of things I’ve been told don’t belong together, of things that I’ve been taught can’t be done - that the true answers lie.”
― Sierra Simone, Saint

Those quotes are just a few of my favorites.

Sierra Simone has a way with words unlike anyone else that I've known. She makes things that people would usually think shouldn't go hand in hand, fit perfectly. At the end of the day we're all human with flaws and desires. Some of us seeking similar things to what Aiden was seeking as Aidan and as Brother Patrick.

This book pulled at my heart so hard, that I didn't know how to completely process my feelings. The struggles that Aiden faced was close to my heart, and I could also understand things from Elijah's pov. If I was Elijah I would definitely NEED to understand what happened for the person I love to make what seemed to be such a drastic change with no explanation.

Loved every 2nd. ...more
