Kindle Notes & Highlights
Fate doesn’t play favorites with girls like me.
“Oh, lovey, that’s so sweet of you. I don’t care what anyone says, you aren’t a man-eating ballbuster with a shard of ice in her chest where her heart is supposed to be.” And that, folks, is Kenji’s version of a sincere compliment.
“I have this really awful feeling that you’re going to be my Kryptonite.” “So you have a Superman complex. Interesting.”
“Actually Batman was always my favorite.” “Really? Why?” He sounds genuinely interested, so I tell him. “Because he’s not really a superhero. He doesn’t have superhuman strength, or amazing powers, or really any advantages other than money and technology. He’s just a man with a fucked-up past trying to do the right thing.”
“You are a lion. You are a tiger. You were given this life because you’re strong enough to live it. Now get out there and let them hear your motherfucking roar!”
“Because it’s love. Love is the only thing that really matters in this life. Love is everything.”
When she draws a series of slow circles around my belly button, I warn gruffly, “Grace.” “I know,” she whispers. “I felt that, too. Do you think he’ll chew a hole clean through your sweats?” “I can’t believe we’re talking about my cock like he’s an inmate about to make a prison break.”
Sweet Ryan Gosling on a unicorn, dominant Brody is sexy as FUCK.
“Yeah? So how does he make you feel?” It falls from my tongue without even a thought, as simple and true as an exhaled breath. “Like everything bad that’s ever happened to me was worth it, because it was all leading up to him.”
Goddamn, witch face, you sure know how to knock a guy off his feet.”
Let your sins be your teachers instead of the cross you hang yourself on.”
“When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.”
“I love you, Grace. I need you with me. Everything makes sense now that I’ve found you. I’ve been waiting my entire life for you. I want to take care of you forever. Be my wife. Marry me. Please.”
The best churches don’t have stained glass windows or statues of dead saints or even ceilings and walls. You don’t need a building to find forgiveness. You don’t need communion wafers and holy water to be blessed. And miracles are everywhere. All you have to do is look.
