More Than This (More Than, #1)

“No one suspects the people they love of douchebaggery.” Heidi looks at me sympathetically. “Or slutbaggery,” Lucy adds.

“Jake makes things hurt a little less. He’s home for me now.

“Your very first kiss with your prince will change your life. When your lips touch for the first time, the earth will feel like it has stopped moving, but at the same time the world around you spins. It’ll feel like fireworks in the night sky—a bright light in the darkness. You’ll feel your heart beat fast in your ears, but silence will surround you. When you pull apart and open your eyes and really see each other, you’ll know in that moment from that kiss that you’ve just let someone own a piece of your heart, and you’ll live happily ever after.”
