Kindle Notes & Highlights
Last night I broke a rule. Why? I have a problem. Well, I have many problems. But saying no happens to be one of them.
Never again will I be forced to hoover tequila shots like a vacuum. Peer pressure. It’s a real thing.
Loren Hale is an alcoholic beverage and he doesn’t even know
We came away clean from the incident and learned a very important lesson. Never trust Anderson.
On an attractiveness scale, he ranges right between a lead singer from a rock band you’d like to fuck and a runway model for Burberry and Calvin Klein.
I hate lemon meringue.
the only girlfriend Loren Hale will ever treat well is his bottle of bourbon.
“In this moment, I’m yours.” His hands run through the armholes of my shirt and he settles them on my bare shoulder blades. I hold my breath and immobilize. I am a statue. “And as your boyfriend,” he murmurs, “I really hate to share.”
Boys can be cruel.
If he was a no-named, redhead with splotchy acne, I may still feel this way. Maybe.
The water washes away the smell and grime, but my sins are here to stay.
His addiction scares me sometimes. Alcoholism can destroy livers and kidneys, and one day, he may not wake up from a night of bingeing. But how can I tell him to stop? How can I judge him when I am nowhere near ready to let go of my crutch? So for right now, this is the best I can do.
Sometimes, being Switzerland during family tiffs is super annoying for everyone else.
“I’m not one of your conquests,” he says in a throaty voice. “I know what you want, and you don’t need to take it. I can give it to you.”
“I want to love you more than I love this”—he waves his bottle—“and I don’t know how else to do it unless there’s something to lose.”
Being called weird by Connor is like a unicorn calling a horse magical.
No one told me you can love someone and still be miserable. How is that possible?
And I suppose, the fear of losing each other is always stronger than the pain we cause.
Our love should have mended all the pain and the hurt. Instead, we’re met with more complications, more consequences, more frowns and furrowed brows.
