Kindle Notes & Highlights
To my readers (yes, you. Hi, babe), Your expectations are not impossibly high. Never let anyone make you believe you’re asking for too much.
And like Mom always said, normal is what you make of the cards fate hands you.
“Those are the best things to fall in love with,” I heard myself say. “The ones we find accidentally.”
stop I’ll cry
“It’s sweet of you to offer compensation for the hardship of touching you, kissing your cheek, or pretending I have the right to pull you on my lap just because I want to. All of which I agreed to do, by the way.”
“There’s a ring on your finger. I don’t care about the specifics, for all practical purposes, it means we’re a team. We handle shit together. I don’t care if you can do it on your own. You shouldn’t have to.”
“A man can coexist with jewelry without imploding,”
“Maybe I would help any stranger. But it’s you I’m going this far for. It’s you. Josie.”
“We’ll hide behind your rules. I won’t break any until you ask me.”

“It was his dream to get married in a place like that.” “His dream should have been getting married to you.”

Relationships end, and whether you’re the one leaving or the one being left behind, the one thing that you can’t run away from are the memories.
ouch
But luckily, this is real life. And that’s not on our meeting minutes.”
“Respectfully, but you give me a mic and I will make that stage my bitch.”
“The first time I heard about Josie was through a text.” I turned my head to look at him, finding his gaze on me. “It was from Adalyn, and it read: I think I’ve just met your soul mate.”
I would simply pass away
“What if I can’t give you any fucking firsts, so I want to make sure I get a chance at being your last?”
this is also cliche but I ate it up so 🤪
