Destroy Me (Shatter Me, #1.5)

by Tahereh Mafi

People seldom realize that they tell lies with their lips and truths with their eyes all the time.

I almost forget that she still hates me, despite how hard I’ve fallen for her. And I’ve fallen. So hard. I’ve hit the ground. Gone right through it.

I can’t help but be amazed at the power such small, unassuming animals wield over us; they so easily break down our defenses.
