Kindle Notes & Highlights
“This is the last time you’re ever getting my money, Johal.” “Until I fail at hockey and follow my true calling in life,” JJ counters. “Stripping.”
I don’t know where this kid got all his confidence, but he should bottle it and sell it. I’ve never known anyone, especially a freshman, as arrogant as this boy.
I want to strangle him, but knowing Mason, he’d probably assume it was foreplay.
He has a bit of a reputation for string-free fun, and I firmly believe he should be awarded by the college for his services to women’s happiness during his four years here. They should erect a statue in his honor.
“If you say being sad makes you horny two more times, Mason will appear like Beetlejuice.”
Emilia thinks liking men is a poor choice to begin with, and I have to remind her that, unfortunately, you can be attracted to men and not actually like them as a species.
Someone much smarter than me once said something poetic and clever about love being when you give someone the power to hurt you but trust them not to,
It was nice to hear him speak, so now I know he is real and not just a figment of my imagination haunting me like the ghost of hookups past.
“Guys, if we lose because you’re all short and Aurora is a pig stealer, I’m going to be so pissed,”
“Will you wait until I fall asleep, please? It won’t take long.” I’m still stunned she thinks I hate her, even though it’s probably drunk babble. “Sure, why?” “Because it’s easier to wake up and you’re not here than it is to watch you leave me.”
“What’re you doing?” “We’ve been trying to work out what they’re doing for five minutes,” Emilia says. “But we can’t decide if they’re playing together or plotting to take over a small country.”
The only thing I’ve ever been good at is getting myself into trouble, but Jenna said I wasn’t allowed to put that down as an option.
“The only person who knows you’re not confident is you” is something he said to me to be confident with women, but I’m currently applying that to everyone, and surprisingly, it’s working.
“If we get caught in the rain, we’ll just enjoy the rainbow.”
“You are brave. We live in a society that tells us our parents are the greatest thing we will ever have and will ever lose, and you just—I don’t even know. You’re putting yourself first anyway. That’s brave.”
“Oh, my sweet summer child.” He laughs. “You’re a straight white man. That’s your red flag.”
“Bad ideas are character building,”
“I’m doing a risk assessment of the likeliness of you splitting me in half.”
RUSS IS CONVINCED THE UNIVERSE sent a possum to stop us from acting like sluts and make us get back to work.
“You’re the engineer, Callaghan. Engineer us a solution.” “Board up the doorway and never return. There’s my solution.”
“You don’t need to be worried. I’ve been surviving my questionable choices for twenty years.”
“I don’t want to be sunlight, Russ.” She shakes her head adamantly. “If you stand in the sun for too long, you get burned. I don’t want to be another person who burns you. Let me be moonlight.” The look of vulnerability on her face steals my breath away. “What if we get caught in the rain? You don’t get rainbows at night.” “You don’t need rainbows when you have the northern lights,” she says softly. “And last time we got caught in the rain we did just fine. Incredible, in fact.”
“I don’t trust poetry. You think you’re reading about an intense love story but then you find out it’s actually about a shoe.”
“Sorry to interrupt,” he says. “Can I help you with anything?” I’m about to say no, but Aurora beats me to it. “Hi, yes, you can actually. My husband and I are looking to open a strip club here in Meadow Springs. Do you happen to have any books on business?”
“Dad is a word. It doesn’t mean anything unless there is action and intention behind it. He’s really just an asshole who you happen to share DNA with. That’s it. We don’t need him. You don’t do fine without him, you do better.”
“Are you going to fuck me against this wall because you’re jealous?” “No. I’m going to fuck you against this wall because being inside of you is the closest thing there is to heaven,”
