Kindle Notes & Highlights
Lowering his gaze, he unbuttons the sleeves of his white shirt and rolls them over his forearms like he knows what he’s doing.
“I can’t live my life for anyone else, because in the end, I am all I have.”
Amelie: I can’t need you this much. It’s not fair. Ian: It’s not fair that you’re so alone either.
Ian: Send help right fucking now. There’s a spider on my desk.
“I meant it when I said I’m not looking for a girlfriend, Amelie. But you . . .” He shrugs. “You’re my favorite notification.”
God, it feels so good. For my efforts to be validated, to have someone acknowledge that I’ve been strong.
“Flowers are the one thing people never get for themselves. They have no purpose except to bring joy to the person you give them to. To make them feel special, loved, and important.” Crossing his legs, he sets his eyes on me. “It’s one of those little things that isn’t little at all.”
A friend is someone who doesn’t judge you. Who maybe can’t make things better, but will try, and if all else fails, will just sit in silence with you. Someone you can count on, someone who is happy when you are. A friend is someone who makes you laugh a little harder and smile a whole lot more.”
“Maybe not all love stories start with friendship, but eventually, the ones that last are the relationships in which your partner becomes your best friend too.”
“Being your friend has been the best part of the last four months—actually, scratch that. It’s been the highlight of my life.”
