Kindle Notes & Highlights
“No matter how perilous the journey, it’s never over for true soul mates. Who doesn’t want a connection that burns forever, despite distance, time, and curses?”
Alone doesn’t care that I don’t shave my legs in
the winter. Alone never gets disappointed by me.” Eva sighed. “It’s the best relationship I’ve ever been in.”
“I like being single,” Eva continued quietly. “I don’t want anyone to have to really see me.”
“Listen, caring about things don’t make you soft. It makes you alive.”

“You burst into my solitude, demanding to be seen. You were overwhelming. Just wild and weird and brilliant, and I never had a choice. I liked everything about you. Even the scary parts. I wanted to drown in your fucking bathwater.”
“If you have the opportunity to make a moment

“Destigmatizing male vulnerability is the first step toward rebuilding the absolute ruin that straight men have left the world in.”
And maybe that was what real, adult love was. Being fearless enough to hold each other close no matter how catastrophic the world became. Loving each other with enough ferocity to quell the fears of the past. Just fucking being there.
