Kindle Notes & Highlights
They soar through the sky with strong, steady wings, masters of their destinies. They used to make me hope. Never again. I turn my face into the pillow, digging fingers into cotton flesh as the memories crash into me.
Tell me we're not back to wannabe poetry
It’s lucky that we’re here right now, because if I’d been in bed where I should’ve been, I wouldn’t have even known J was in trouble. I would’ve missed the tremble in my friend’s voice as she cried out, begging for mercy. I would’ve missed the shattering colors of a twisted sunrise,
Omg we get it move on wth is going on here
loneliness it creeps up on you quiet and still, sits by your side in the dark, strokes your hair as you sleep wrapssitself around your bones squeezing sotightyoualmostcan’t breathe
i really thought we moved past this writing style
sssssometimes it just won’t let go
How are we 30 pages in and sm has happened but i feel like ive been left out of all of it
“And why’ve you left us alone with him? He’s being a proper ass. Nearly made Haider cry just now.”
Need examples of what hes doing so i can know if im mad at him
There is madness in the repetition, in the repetition, in the repetition that underscores our lives. It is only in the desperate seconds before death that we realize the windows against which we broke our bodies were only mirrors, all along.
What are we ever talking abouttt
“Come on, man, you don’t think this is a little weird? Having tea parties every night?” Winston lowers his voice to a whisper. “I’ll kill you if you ruin this for him.”
Awe omg stop
even after we were taken hostage by Anderson”—he nods an acknowledgment at Brendan and Winston—“she took her sweet time trying to get information out of Warner. She never gave a shit about the rest of us, and all we’ve ever done is put everything on the line to protect her.”
Hes really not wrong.
“Shit. Shit. Shit shit shit.” “It’s nice to see you, too, Kenji.” I look up. She’s smiling. Ugh, so pretty.
Kenji you always deserve the world
Still, she does not want to leave. She likes it here, likes stretching out inside my bones. She likes the dry air and the taste of real oxygen. She likes the shape of my fingers, the sharpness of my teeth. She is sorry, but not sorry enough to go back, so she is trying to be very small and very quiet. She hopes to make it up to me by taking up as little space as possible.
I dont blame her at all need a happy end for her bad
I am foam and smoke moonlighting as skin. Dandelions gather in my rib cage, moss growing steadily along my spine. Rainwater floods my eyes, pools in my open mouth, dribbles down the hinges holding together my lips.
I dont know what this means can we actually explain literally anything
One of his hands clasps the back of my head, the other grasps at my waist. A flash of heat roars up my spine, reaches into my skull. His lips are at my ear whispering, whispering Come back to life, love I’ll be here when you wake up
Omg im so glad he can sense emotions
“Something’s definitely wrong,” someone says. “Yeah, she doesn’t look like she’s okay.” Someone else. “Oh, okay, so we’re all just saying really obvious things out loud? Is that what we’re doing?” Kenji.
Once again thank you kenji for saying what im thinking
Kenji The guy gasping at the doorframe is
Gonna be honest ive never been so upset to get kenji POVs as i am in this book. Give me warner pov NOW
“Yes, sir.” “And?” He leans forward, clasps his hands in front of him. “How are you feeling?” “Sir?”
Her calling him sir makes me wanna vomit
His eyes are a strange, stark shade of blue, and there’s something about him—his heavy brow, his sharp nose—that stirs up ancient feelings inside my chest. Silence gathers around us, unspoken curiosities pulling us together. He searches my face for so long that I begin to search him, too.
Please dont have her get w her boyfriends dad please no
He touches a finger to my chin, tilts up my face. “Your beauty is excessive,” he says. “I don’t know what your mother was thinking.”
I would fold unfortunately
He steps forward. His irises are so blue. A lock of dark hair curves across his eyes. “I am your master,” he says. “Yes, sir.”
Oh yuckyuckyuck id rather be dead
He steps back. “Get on your knees.” I stare at him, frozen. The command was clear enough, but it feels like an error. “Sir?” “On your knees, soldier. Now.” Carefully, I comply.
This is truly miserable
“You— You are extremely handsome, sir.”
This is torture
“I want to know only if you want to tell me, sir.” Anderson’s smile blooms. White teeth. Genuine pleasure. I feel my chest warm at his quiet praise. Pride straightens my shoulders. I avert my eyes, staring quietly at the wall.
Kill me please
I want to know what you are thinking right now. I will always want to know what you’re thinking,” he says sharply. “In every moment. I want every word, every detail, every emotion.
He wants to be aaron so bad
My eyes flutter open but I feel drugged, deliriously happy as I watch his seized, suspended body begin to convulse. Blood spurts from his nose, bubbles up inside his open, gasping mouth. He’s choking. Nearly dead. And I’m just beginning t—
WHATS GOING OOONNNNNNNN
Warner’s eyes go flinty. Electric. That scary kind of crazy. “Every single time you claim to understand even a fraction of what I’m feeling, I want to disembowel you. I want to sever your carotid artery. I want to rip out your vertebrae, one by one. You have no idea what it is to love her,” he says angrily. “You couldn’t even begin to imagine. So stop trying to understand.”
Ok hot take but kinda smash
As I watch him, a familiar feeling flutters through me. It gathers in my stomach, sparking dim heat that sends a brief shock to my heart.
This is the worst thing that couldve possibly happened
“Cut it off. Place it in my hand. And all will be forgiven.” “Yes, sir,” I whisper. With shaking hands, I press the blade to the tender skin at the base of my finger.
?????? What is ever happening anymore
but with one final, desperate cry, I cut through the bone. The knife falls from my trembling hand, clattering to the floor. My index finger is still hanging on to my hand by a single scrap of flesh, and I rip it off in a quick,
Im so nauseous
Friends? I have friends? “Hey, princess,” someone whispers in my ear.
Omg this is the best thing to happen in the whole book i screamed
shaking, my heart shaking. I watch, as if in a dream, as he pulls off his shirt, tosses it to the ground. And then he’s here again, he’s back again, he’s caught me in his arms and he’s kissing me so deeply my knees give out.
Uhhh in the middle of the war?
Warner
I WAITED OVER 400 PAGES FOR THIS IT BETTER BE GOOD
“It’s Kenji.” I force down a spike of anger so violent I think I give myself a stroke. It leaves me light-headed. “What is he doing here?” I manage to get out. “How on earth did he know how to find us?
Not getting to see the juliette and kenji reunion is criminal
When I hear her laugh, I am happy.
Omg smash
