Kindle Notes & Highlights
“If Joey knew that you were speaking to me like this, he would—” “What?” He cut me off with a threatening lilt to his voice. “He would do what, girl?” “He would break your fucking neck,”
“He’s either going to end up killing himself or someone else.” “Then let’s hope it’s you.”
Queen Aoife
“You know that I would never hurt your pussy, Claire-Bear.”
Still my fave in every series
“You’re honestly trying to tell me that those two aren’t in love?” “I never said they weren’t in love.” Chuckling, she added, “Only that they’re not together.”
Basically sums it up
“He’s here, he’s here, oh my Jesus, he’s here!”
Not Jesus, just Joey
“I’ll take her home, Aoife,” Katie offered, and I instantly knew which one of her friends was my favorite.
😛
“Are you going to look at me?” “Not right now.” “Why not?” “Because it hurts too much.”
“I don’t know how you feel anymore.” “In love,” I bit out. “With you.”
“You don’t know how to love anyone.” “Maybe I do it badly,” I choked out, as my heart splintered apart. “But I do love you.”
Gibsie Gibberson,
Pretty much
While the rest of his friends had long since abandoned their girlfriends and dates, Gibsie hadn’t taken more than three steps away from Claire all night.
That’s my Gussie
Our eyes met, green on green, and he winked at me from across the room. And just like that, I was ruined.
“He’s a free agent, and so am I.” “Like fuck we are.” His hand came around my waist, fingers flexing against my flesh as he pulled me backwards into his embrace.
“You can’t tell me what to do, Joe,” I growled, feeling a combination of drunk and dizzy. “You don’t own me.” “Well, that’s bad fucking luck on my account, because you sure as shit own me!” Drunk or not, his words hit me like a wrecking ball to the chest. Feeling the air whoosh from my lungs, I glared up at him, feeling a torrent of emotions crashing through me. “Why would you say that to me?” “Because it’s the truth.” “Since when?” “Since I was twelve.”
Since she marked him with her backpack
Because every part of me loved every part of her. The good, the bad, and the ugly.
“Bad boy.” Her breath was laced with alcohol and so fucking warm on my face when she whispered, “Tell me you’re sorry.” I gave in without a fight, too weary and too damn in love to fight my feelings. “I’m sorry.” “How sorry?” “Very sorry.” “Good boy.”
Mammy Aoife
“It’s you,” he repeated gruffly, fingers tightening on my waist. “I pick you. Every single time.”
“I’ll love you the right way this time,” he whispered, and his breath fanned my cheek. “If you’ll show me how.”
“I’m not your mother or your sister. I’m not another girl who needs something from you. I’m the girl who wholeheartedly wants you. I’m the girl who wholeheartedly loves you. The hurler. The mechanic. The boy. The protector. The asshole. The lover. The addict.”
Aoife is just THAT girl
She thought she was the weakest link in the family chain, when it couldn’t be further from the truth. My sister was titanium.
“Nice abs.” “Nice legs,”
“Hey, stud.” “Hey, queen.”
I’m only doing life for you.”
“Hey, stud.” His fingers flexed on my waist. “Hey, queen.”
“Nice moves.” “Nice legs.”
“Bye, stud.” “Bye, queen.”
“We’re betrothed.” “Since when?” “Since she was four and I was six, and I promised her that I would marry her.”
“Who is hurting your sister?” he repeated, as desperation and frustration fused together inside of him. This fucker cared. He cared an awful lot.
We love you, Kavs
His sharp, wet tongue trailing down the side of my neck felt all wrong. Wrong, wrong, wrong, my body assured me.
This is so gross, I need to throw up
“Because every time I look at you, all I can see is—” “Him,”
I placed my hands on her hips, and then recoiled in horror when she flinched from my touch. Mine.
NOOOO
“I’ll be seeing ya, Molloy.”
“Think about your future.” “I don’t have one of those anymore.” “Yes, you do.” “No.” I shook my head and yanked the door open. “He took her away from me.”
“Nice shirt,” I whispered, nudging my shoulder to his as I held my breath and waited for his age-old response. Say it. Please say it. Two words. That’s all I need. The breath he released was so deep that it caused his shoulders to visibly rise and fall before he shook his head in what seemed like reluctant surrender. “Nice legs.”
“I’m in love with you, and that’s something he can never take away from you.”
“God loves a trier,” Casey agreed, eyes dancing with mischief. “But Aoife loves Joey.”
“Nice everything, Molloy.”
“Thanks, stud.” “Anytime, queen.”
“I am what I am.”
“Please tell me you didn’t cheat on her? Because that girl is amazing and you need to marry her.”
Yes, Shannon we all agree
“I’ve only been in one girl’s bedroom.” Her eyes widened. “So, you’ve only been with one girl?” “I’ve only been in one girl’s bedroom,” I doubled down and repeated.
He’s a sweet slut
“Did anything happen?” “We hugged.” I fought back the laugh that was threatening to escape me. “You hugged.” “Uh-huh.” Desperately trying to keep a straight face, I asked, “Was it a good hug?” She sighed wistfully and clutched her chest. “It was the best hug I’ve ever had.”
Okay I love her 😭
“What would you do if you were me?” Yeah, I wasn’t going to tell her what I’d do. “Or Aoife? What would she do in this position?” And I definitely wasn’t going to tell her what Molloy would do.
Oh nah y’all are freaked OUTT
What if it doesn’t fit in, um, well, you know?” “It fits.” I dropped my head in my hands and groaned. “It always fits.” “But how?” “Magic.” “Joey.” “It just fucking fits, Shan,”
I’M DYING
“You should stick to the hugging. Hugging is perfect. Hugging is plenty close enough until you’re twenty.”
#SexEdWithJoey
“It doesn’t matter if you did it a thousand times with a thousand different girls,” Shannon croaked out. “You both need to consent every time, Joe.”
Yes, ma'am
“But every time you snort a line or pop a pill, you’re playing Russian roulette with your life and my heart.”
“Nice legs.”
“Kev?” she strangled out, and the look of hurt in her eyes was sobering. “Kev told you?” “He’s been telling anyone who will listen to him.”
I’m gonna murder him
