Part of Your World (Part of Your World, #1)

“I’m not an asshole. It’s my favorite thing about myself.”

Eight thousand nerves in the clitoris and still not as sensitive as a white man not getting his way.”

This made me majorly LOL

It was like he liked me on eggshells. Like as long as I was running after him, begging him to tell me what was wrong, what I could do better, he was happy.

“Ali, men are two things. Disappointing and consistent. I believe you.”

I’d gone from being positive I was never going to see him again, to seeing him being the only thing I felt like doing.

I hated that I’d come here with them. I felt ashamed by association. Had they always been like this? Or was I just now starting to find it unacceptable? Had I been like this once?

I’ve had friendships like this

He was in the worst position to be generous, yet he was. And she was in the best position to show grace, and she didn’t. And doing it would have cost her nothing.

the penguin’s not picking her mate because he’s the one who has the best rock. It might look that way, but she’s not. She’s taking the rock because the male she wants the most is offering it. Sometimes what you have to give is enough. Even if it’s a rock instead of a diamond.”

I’d decided. I’d give up my life here to be where she was if she’d have me.

She felt like the sun. Like she was the reason for everything. Like I’d always been waiting for her to get closer and bring me to life.

Love follows you. It goes where you go. It doesn’t know about social divides or distance or common sense.

No kids, no marriage. I didn’t want it with anyone else.

two old people, dying on the same day because the world would never be cruel enough to make either one of us exist without the other.
