Kindle Notes & Highlights
It's kind of sweet how close they are, how effortlessly they're taking care of each other.
Eh feels gross
“I know you won't believe me, but Avery didn't set you up, and she definitely didn't take the photos.”
Fuck its lauren isnt it
I tell myself I’m not going to hate Annabelle just because she’s sleeping with two of the hottest guys in our grade, but I’ve never been good at lying to myself.
I wish they'd share me, I think, and then I shut that part of my brain down tight.
“I heard your early covers and I bought the albums.” I don’t mention what I had to do to get the money to buy them. I don’t know how well he’d take me gambling with my body in the fighting scenes of Mounts Bay middle school.
“I know. It’s an old money thing. My parents would also have a lot to say if I started dating, and I’d murder my little sister if I found her hanging around someone like Rory.” Lauren shrugs and settles back in her chair.
What’s Lauren’s last name?!
I'd always planned on waiting until college to lose my cherry, so what difference did it make if Joey had a say in it too?
Blegh. Cherry.

Alexander Asher William Beaumont.
Avery Aspen Waverley Beaumont.
Why am I not a lesbian?
Ugh. The misogyny is one thing. But homophobia too. So dumb. Why can’t I stop reading this goddamned book. #whimsy
nod, thoughtfully. Avery sets down her pen and folds her hands in her lap. I know without looking that her ankles are crossed and her head tilts a fraction to the right. I call this the ‘Avery power pose’. She makes it when she’s plotting.
I don’t want to be a stick in the mud but I’d watched my mother use every single drug she could get her hands on and it made me deeply, intensely wary of any type of high that isn’t liquor. I shrug and look out over the crowd.
What a weird take. Either you’re against intoxicants or you aren’t. It’s so stupid
Again, I adore this girl so fiercely I wish I were a lesbian and I could lock this shit down. Alas, I like dick.
Bitch you are a 16 year old virgin. Sit the fuck down.
“I don't accept bribes from rich playboys. Only favors.” She grins at me, savage and beautiful.
I’ll do whatever it takes to get us all out of here alive and together.
We communicate better with lyrics than with words.
“I’m not taking these. We’re not friends, I don’t want anything more, don’t buy me flowers.”
So hrs stealing the underwear
Avery cackles and I glance up again to find three sets of smoldering eyes glaring at me with a challenge.
She sighs and flicks the coffee machine on for me. “She’s a ghost. Her file is full, but it’s all clean. I had someone trawl through her entire existence online and nothing. I thought she had to have a statutory rape hiding somewhere.”
She was clearly hired by tge jackal. Maybe part of thegame
We have to stop off at the guys’ room to grab Harley’s spare set of keys after he turns the living room back at my room apart looking for his original set. I make a mental note to myself because I’ve been burned by missing keys before.
That butch vjvienne
‘Stang
Gross
The mood in the room sours even more. The Boar’s eyes bounce between us both and then settle on the Jackal, cold and fucking dangerous in a way I’ve rarely seen from this man.
Hey daddy boar! So is angel unseen Lips mom??? Also I mean he obviously fucking sucks. I guess it’s POSSIBLE he didn’t know until she was already in the game but like. Damn dude wtf. His story better be good.
Two very important things stand out to me from his little speech; my father is definitely scum, and I have siblings. The Boar knows about my siblings.
Oh fuck. Is the devil her sibling??
“You aren’t fucking expendable. You’re nonnegotiable. You’re everything I’ve ever fucking wanted and needed, and you’re trying to get yourself killed.”
