Kindle Notes & Highlights
Two months sounded like an eternity. “When would you leave?” I whispered. “Monday,” he whispered back.
Is this maybe the 2nd convo between them that we've read? I could not tell you any personality traits of Denny or why they have chemistry
This was practically our daily routine. Are you coming home? No. I miss you. I miss you too. I smiled at how much I loved that goofy boy.
I dont think goofy means what you think it means
I blinked when he spoke to me.
All her surprised blinking reminds me of Belinda blinked, the book from the My Dad Wrote a Porno podcast
“No one’s ever asked me that before. Well, no one outside the band, that is.” He shrugged as he looked over my face. I blushed and looked away, wondering if he thought I was an idiot for asking.
Is this intimacy?
He pointed over his shoulder, to the poster I had hung on his wall. “I do like that . . . thanks.”
She hung a poster in his room without asking? That seems bold
his adventures to anyone who would stop and listen. I found it disgusting and tuned him out as much as I possibly could. Being typical guys, the rest of the band seemed to find it all amusing.
Locker room talk
Life must be so much easier when you know that you’re absurdly attractive.
I feel like i wasted my youth and beauty
European Lit, with all the great classics: the Brontë sisters, Austen, Dickens.
European lit is all British it seems
only had to smack Griffin’s hand from my thigh three times and push him away from my neck once.
Again are we supposed to think Griffin is awful or sassy? He definitely thinks "no" means "try harder"
Coming Together, Breaking Apart
I'm so bad at noticing chapter titles. I didn't notice any other chapter titles and they were probably meaningful
He would eventually fall asleep and I’d roll on my side to watch his perfect face in slumber.
Yeah not creepy at all
spent the remainder of the night dancing rather sexily with a rotating group of females.
Females
Mentally laughing, a different version came to mind. “You know, if you think he’s hot, you should see his friend Griffin.”
Setting up your sister with the possible rapist. Top notch sister behavior right there
At first he simply watched, but after a while his eyes started changing, started burning with an alluring intensity.
Eyes have surprisingly not been too active in this book
A phone call that afternoon incited my irritation . . . and my nerves.
She gets irritated 125 times
He chuckled, probably remembering how I usually helped him . . . calm his nerves.
What no blushing?
Not that I looked any better for all the effort, but it made me feel a little more put together, and hopefully that would help me get through all the embarrassing introductions ahead. Maybe I’d just hide quietly in the back all week, until I got more comfortable in my classes.
I'm a weird anxious idiot and should identify with this. but I'm just annoyed
He chuckled and grabbed my hand again.
They chuckle 85 times
He looked down and glanced up
how do you look down and glance up
I left messages at his hotel, but he was rarely there because his new job kept him so busy.
But it's an internship? How is he so busy with stuff with an internship?
“It’s the offer of a lifetime, Kiera. They don’t offer lead positions to interns—ever.”
Why make him an intern and then create these unbelievable work propositions? Why couldn't he just have a dream job post graduation?
I felt a little guilty watching him without him knowing, but I was just so curious about what he was doing that I couldn’t stop.
She does have some creeper vibes
Would he really not tell him? How did he even know Denny was back? What would tomorrow be like?
I honestly do not care what happens to their relationship
“Who do you rent this place from?” His voice from the couch was cold and flat. His eyes never left the TV. “I don’t. It’s mine.”
How has this not come up before
I stayed on the couch, watching TV but not seeing a frame of it, my mind too lost in thought.
Does she never have homework?
Then she lightly kissed his still bewildered face on the cheek and turned to give me a hug.
So many kisses on the cheek. I don't think i have ever done that
Denny woke a while later and quickly got ready for his day of job searching.
I know this is mapquest times but shouldn't he be looking online for a job?
The class had more to do with the psychological and social aspects of sexual behavior than with the mechanics of sex.
What did you think a psych class was going to be about, how babies are made?
She was an averagely pretty girl with long, light brown hair
Averagely pretty? That's some shade
stopping on the way to steal a kiss from Kate, who quickly pushed him away, sighing and rolling her eyes. Apparently, she was used to Griffin’s advances.
Griffin harasses everyone apparently
His brilliance, while so welcomed and encouraged at his previous job, was almost looked down upon here. The small-minded people around him were intimidated by his ideas.
Ha! Poor oppressed marketing genius
He was his usual self, drinking his coffee and reading the paper, but he didn’t look up when I came in. Embarrassed at my outburst yesterday, I wasn’t sure what to do.
Moving out would be good for starters
Reaching out with one arm, he lowered us both to the floor. I didn’t even care that it was filthy. The aroma of coffee assaulted me.
Is this supposed to be sexy?
for they were instantly locked onto mine. They were a perfect tranquil blue this morning, calm and untroubled, but still oddly cold. One side of his mouth curled upwards in a slight smile that did nothing to warm his eyes.
Maybe I spoke too soon. Maybe now eyes will be super expressive
Why did my body never listen to me anymore? Stupid, defiant body.
I say this to my body a lot. But it just gains weight. It doesn't want to slap or sleep with people
“Well, then you’re a moody artist. . . .” I finished my thought by muttering under my breath, “You’re practically a girl.”
A GIRL!? The worst insult around here
Personally, I’d rather be dry, but it hadn’t been raining when I left and I really didn’t like walking around with an umbrella, looking like an idiot waiting for it to rain.
This reminds me of the viral tweet where some manly man was saying how unmasculine it was to use an umbrella. And Twitter was like "are real men water proof?" And I don't think carrying an umbrella in Seattle makes anyone look like an idiot
Irritated at his grin, I stubbornly stayed put on the couch, crossing my arms over my chest.
Someone grins 182 times in this book. Did I already count this one?
