Kindle Notes & Highlights
Once a top chef, now a poor fisherman who has to work for his parents to make ends meet. Put that on my dating profile. Ladies will be swiping right in the blink of an eye. Lives on a houseboat, smells like crabs—but doesn’t have crabs, win—interfering brothers, and exceptionally nosy older sister. Used to cook but now eats soup from a can, willing to split the check with you but not willing to pay in full—sorry, but there’s only dust in these pockets—rocket of a cock, great fingers, and will eat you for nourishment. I’m a real fucking catch.
Beyoncé is wrong: Girls don’t run the world. Side boob does. Side boob runs the world.
“I don’t think I’m drunk at all.” “Are you sure?” I nod. “Good, because I plan on doing some dirty things to you tonight, and I want you remembering every single lick, every kiss, every thrust.”
“Cuddle plans.” “Big dick and likes to cuddle. Wow, Knightly, you should have been advertising that a long time ago.”
“Last night meant more to me than just fucking my friend—it meant connecting with someone in a way I never have before. You made me feel shit, Eve, and I don’t let myself have feelings. But it felt good. Fuck, it felt so damn good. It’s why I want to sink myself inside of you all over again, because I want that feeling of euphoria to take over me, that feeling of comfort, of belonging. This isn’t just about fucking, at least not for me. This is about starting something new.”
How do you tell someone they aren’t worthless when that’s what they truly believe? How do you tell someone that failing doesn’t mean you quit, that failing is just a stepping stone to achieving what you want in life?
That fucking woman. I swear to God, being inside of her is something magical. I’ve never experienced anything like it. The way she claws at me, her moans, her unbridled passion. It’s like I’m drunk on her, and yet I can’t quite get enough.
Failure should not define you, but it sure as hell should motivate you.”
failure is what makes us stronger. Without failure, we would never succeed. You failed big time in Boston, but instead of quitting, you need to learn from your mistakes and make sure you don’t repeat them. Failure is an opportunity to grow, not a chance to give up.”
“Reciprocating bad behavior doesn’t make it better.”
It’s taking every last ounce of strength to not reach out to hold his hand or cup his junk. Yeah, I have an urge to reach out and just cup him through his pants, make my hand a penis hammock. It’s an odd urge, one that I’m not entirely proud of, though it’s there.
I love Reid because he challenges me, because he’s a roller coaster. He gives me highs and lows, he keeps me guessing, he shows me that life isn’t about walking around wearing rose-colored glasses. There’s defeat, there’s sorrow, and there are moments of utter clarity that mold you.
Maybe it’s time to grow up and accept what this love really is: a combination of ugly and beautiful moments mixing together to create an everlasting bond.
Even if he’s not perfect, he’s perfect for you.
love is never easy. Love is a foundation of challenges that stem from two souls colliding as one. There will be miscommunications and moments where we hurt each other, because we are human after all, but what truly matters is the realization that the person standing in front of you is the one person who makes you the best version of yourself.
