The Best Kind of Forever (Riverside Reapers #1)

by Celeste Briars

toe my wedges off and plonk my keys down on the coffee table,

What is a plonk?😂

I wish I’d never met Hayes Hollings that night at the bar. I wish I’d never fallen for him.

Childish.

Fight for the love you never thought you were worthy of, and fight knowing you’re worth so much more.”

Sooo tired of the cliches

I mean, if you weren’t still madly in love with him, I’d pop all the segments of his spine out like pieces of Pez.”

Brutal, but go off queen. I think Faye is my favorite character

You never really know what a person’s true intentions are. And yeah, I get it, that’s hypocritical coming from me.

Yeah, it is hypocritical. Also, what is this writing?

all those B.H.—Before Hayes—nerves

…I can’t anymore. Wtf is that???

It’s taking every morsel of my self-control not to wrap my arms around him—not to give myself over to him, not to inhale that sandalwood scent of his into my bloodstream, not to commit the minty taste of his tongue to memory.

I feel like these people have known each other for 2 days. Why is she so obsessed with him???

I want to feel the feather’s edge of love in the way he strokes the back of my head or presses his lips to my forehead.

Wtf is “the feathers edge of love”???

Hell, he’s squeezing my hand so hard that my bones feel like they’re made of glass.

Are they cracking?? I literally don’t know how a hand squeeze could make your fingers feel like glass. I get that it’s a figure of speech, but I def think you’re using it wrong.

I stand on my tiptoes and dip my tongue into his mouth.

Omg it gets WORSE??

A ring.

See. This is why we don’t propose with food.

“Stacks, when I first met you, I never thought I’d end up on one knee for you.

Wow way to start a proposal speech. Also, you’re just gonna go into it like that after you give her THE HEIMLICH MANEUVER???
