Kindle Notes & Highlights
Buy a man flowers, at least. Or hell, lead off with a good joke. But it is what it is, I suppose.
Because whoever is torturing this poor girl is certainly watching us right now and they can eat shit. “Lead the way, babe.”
Which is even more reason to get the hell out of here before I catch feelings. Because Conor Edwards is absolutely the guy you fall for before you learn that girls like me don’t get guys like him.
“Babe, you’ve got the kind of body that boys build in their heads under the sheets after dark.”
“I mean it.” His voice thickens. “I’ve been sitting here having filthy thoughts about you all night. Don’t mistake my manners for indifference.”
“You’re ridiculously attractive, Taylor.” This time when he speaks, I don’t doubt his sincerity, if perhaps his sanity. I suppose someone like him doesn’t get around so much by being picky. “Don’t spend any more time believing otherwise.”
I truly believe that all body types are beautiful. It’s only when I look in the mirror that I forget.
From the first whistle, Coach has been on a rampage like he just found out Jake Connelly knocked up his daughter or something.
Whistle, skate. Whistle, shot. Whistle, kill me.
Taylor Marsh has no idea how cool she is, and that’s a fucking shame.
“I have to tell you something,” I say, squeezing the pillow to my chest and staring at my toes. “I’m…” A coward. I take a deep breath and try again. “I’ve never been with anyone. Like at all. Well, I’ve done a little. But not much.” “Oh,” is his response. It hangs there, that infuriating little syllable. Like a wisp of smoke growing larger as it fills the room. Then he drawls, “I was a virgin too, once.” I jab him with an elbow. “It’s been a while since I was with a virgin.” Another jab. “I won’t tell anyone that you came too fast.” I swing the pillow at his face.
“Society tells boys to divide and conquer, and tells girls to save ourselves for some younger future version of our father. Just doing some quick math in my head and…yep, that comes out to a bunch of hypocritical bullshit. Your self-worth is not tied up in your vagina or how many girls came before you.”
