Love You Better (Better Love, #1)

by Brit Benson

Ivy Rivenbark is my power source. She is my light and my energy and my everything, but she will never be mine.

Ivy is the tranquility of home and the exhilaration of adventure. I won’t need anything else in life as long as I have her.

“I promise, Ives. I’m not going anywhere. No matter what.”

“I’ve been in love with you since ninth grade, Ivy Jean Rivenbark. I didn’t always know it, and I tried like hell for a long time to ignore it, but it’s true.”

“It means I’m going to love you better than anyone can. The only person who will ever love you better than me is yourself, but I’m going to spend all of my life trying to match you. And when your self-love falters, when you doubt yourself or us, my heart will carry yours. I’ll love you big enough for the both of us. I always have, and if you let me, I always will.”

Fuck, baby, you’re a fucking goddess.”
