Kindle Notes & Highlights
Claire was loud and funny, and she made me feel happy. Shannon was quiet and calm and made me feel safe.
“You’re different, Lizzie Young.” “I am?” She nodded and smiled. “You’re special.” “Is that bad?” “No.” She shook her head, still smiling. “You remind me of Joe.” “Your brother?” “Yep.” She nodded again. “And that’s a very good thing.”
lizzie and joey’s friendship is so important
“I’m not afraid of you,” she replied, but she backed up several steps. “You’re a scumbag.” “Yeah,” Joey agreed with a dangerous chuckle, closing the space she put between them. “But I’m a scumbag that’ll tear your fucking world apart if you touch my sister again.”
joeyyyy my man 🤭
My heart leapt. “No matter what?” “Yeah, Liz.” Hugh smiled. “No matter what.”
They're so pure. Im in for it with this one
Shivering, I clenched my eyes shut and thought happy thoughts. I thought of Hugh.
:((( fuck mark
Instead, I wrapped my arm around her shoulders and kept her close.
protective big brother hugh
Hugh stared down at the face of his watch for a long moment before turning his attention back to me. And then, with red cheeks, he leaned in close and kissed my cheek. “Happy New Year, Liz.”
cute :(((
Mark didn’t fix me this time. Hugh did. And he didn’t have to hurt me to do it…
If boys only did that to girls they loved, did that mean Mark loved me? Because I didn’t want Mark to love me. I wanted Hugh to love me.
lizzie :(
“He looks like Thor with his hammer!” “Did you hear that, Gibs?” Feely called out with a chuckle. “Lizzie thinks you look like a superhero!” Grinning wolfishly up at us, Gibsie winked and immediately starting flexing his nonexistent biceps. “Oh yeah,” Liz encouraged, cheering him on. “Show us those guns, Thor.”
backstory on the thor nickname!
“Stop fighting me on this!” he snarled, ramming the coat hanger deep inside of my body. “Relax, okay? I know what I’m doing. I watched a video.” “It hurts!” I screamed, ripping and tearing at my hair as the pain threatened to take me under. “I’m dying!” “Yeah, and I’ll be dead if that belly of yours gets any bigger.” He shoved a pillow over my face. “Scream into that if you have to…”
oh my god this is horrifying :(((
again. “Tell me who’s responsible for this? Who told lies and killed your sister?” “I…” Tears trickled down my cheeks. “…he did.” “And who’s he?” Another tear rolled down my cheek. “Gibsie.” “And what’ll happen to your little boyfriend if you even think about telling lies about me like Gibsie did?” “No!” I clenched my eyes shut. “Please don’t hurt him.” “Say it!” He squeezed my throat tighter. “Where will lover boy end up?” “In there,” I strangled out, body growing limp against the railing at my back. “With her…”
this guy is more than just a monster. i cannot imagine. this is heartbreaking. the only person responsible for caoimhe’s MURDER is this asshole
strangled out, fingers shakily tracing my cuts and bruises. “He’s a lot older and a lot bigger than you.” “Maybe right now,” I begrudgingly agreed. “But he won’t always be.” Snatching up her hand in mine, I pressed a kiss to her scarred wrist. “I’m going to grow up, Liz. One day, I’ll be a man, and if that prick even looks in your direction, I’ll put him in the ground.” Her eyes widened to saucers. “You w-would kill him?” “If he touched you? Absolutely,” I confirmed grimly. “And I wouldn’t feel bad about it, either.”
i love hugh
It hurt a little less that way, and I could manipulate my mind to separate the two. Because the monster never said the name Thor.
any time anyone pits lizzie and gibs against each other, mark the nasty pedo wins
“He’ll never have your firsts, munchkin. All of those belong to me,” the monster taunted, gripping my throat tighter than before. “My seed will always be the first to have grown inside you.” He laughed cruelly then. “Does your precious Hugh know that? Huh? Have you been a bad girl while I’ve been gone and told your hero boyfriend about our little arrangement?” He impaled my body so hard I bit my tongue. “Do I need to take care of him like I took care of Caoimhe?”
i hate him i hate him i hate him i hate him 😭😭🤬🤬
