Kindle Notes & Highlights
He’s not the hearts-and-flowers kind of guy—he’s the heart-and-soul kind, and fuck
if every girl would rather have that than the flowers.
It’s at this moment that I know. I don’t just think it anymore—I know it. I love this girl. I’m in love with this girl.
To have to be around the person you love, and not be able to love them, is the hardest thing to do.
The love that’s so instant and intense and easy, it feels like all the world’s forces collided and fate gave you a push, and you’re there, in front of the person who’s now a part of you. The world spins and your heart explodes, and you want nothing else at all in the entire universe as long as you can be with that one person all the time. When you’re not, you think about him until your mind is consumed, and it’s almost like you’re suffocating and drowning . . . But in a good way, because your love is all around you.
I wish the world would leave me alone for just one minute, so I can gather the strength to get up and face it.
“Jake saw you at your worst. He was there when your life changed and your heart
shattered. He was there to help you piece some of it back together. He’s seen it all, Micky. He’s seen you at your worst, and he still fell in love with you—like, truly the forever kind of love with you. And I’m sorry, because I think you’re making a mistake. Maybe you don’t need to be a complete person, or maybe you do. But maybe he’s it—maybe he’s the other half of you.”
“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.”
