Kindle Notes & Highlights
I wish to find someone who appreciates my presence instead of destroying it.
“Next time you think I looked at you with disgust, remember that kiss. I’m not a unicorn because I’d much rather be a dragon in the story. They’re more badass anyway.”
“Because those who see beauty in chaos also see flowers instead of weeds, and that’s a gift in a world like ours.”
Personally, I don’t care if it takes you a minute or an hour to get up. All that matters is that you do.”
“Life is about creating the memories that matter, while forgetting the ones that don’t.”
Chloe didn’t just steal a piece of my heart. She carved her initials into it, branding me for life.
Chloe Carter destroyed me in every way I needed. She broke me apart before gluing me back together, repairing me from the inside out. I’m not letting this girl get away. Not now and not ever.
“And most of all, loving you is realizing heaven isn’t a place, but a person.”
“I love you, Chloe. And it’s okay if you don’t know what it means to be loved by someone, let alone love someone else because I promise to love you enough for the two of us. To love you every day to make up for everyone else who failed miserably.”
He pulls me back into the moment, kissing me into a mindlessness. Together, we find our release. This is bliss. This is love. This is us.
I wish that Chloe Carter falls in love with someone worthy of her eighties-loving heart. That she finds that soul-crushing, heart-mending, passion-fueled love. A love that leaves her desperate for more because nothing that amazing should ever be done in moderation. The same love I found with her.
The visual reminder of us filled me with a different kind of sadness. And then I got mad that I was sad, and I stuck with anger because it seemed like a safer emotion.
But in the end, is a love built on lies really love at all?
It’s hard to not scoff at the idea of dating Santiago for a year. I haven’t even had a relationship with my Netflix subscription for that long.
Where most people see weeds, I only see you—my beautiful wildflower, untamed and free.
life is about searching for the light, even if it means growing through broken places to get there.
growing up in a world of uncaring people shows me that it’s not okay to punish someone for caring too much.
“Back to plotting my murder? I thought we moved past that plan once we started fake dating.” “To be fair, you did eat the last Oreos.”
“Loving you is like the first day of spring after a harsh winter.”
“Loving you is like the ocean. Infinite. Fierce. Breathtaking.”
“Loving you feels like seeing a rainbow for the first time. It’s so amazing, you can’t help wondering if it was created by magic.”
“And most of all, loving you is realizing I don’t have to make a wish ever again because I already have everything I could ever want.”
“Fear motivates me. It reminds me how the best things in life will always make us afraid, but that shouldn’t stop us from pursuing them anyway.
Are you always going to be this perfect or will it wear off like a car’s warranty?”
All I needed was Santiago—a man set on proving the magic isn’t the wish itself, but the people who make the dream come true.
You might be the hero in my story, but you’re the legend in theirs.
