The Gifts That Bind Us (All Our Hidden Gifts, #2)

by Caroline O'Donoghue

“We don’t have anywhere except here.”

Girl u can practice telepathy literally anywhere

She’s tall already, almost six foot,

I wonder how shes so tall and Roe is so short

“And you’re sticking to that, too, are you?”

Im soooo embarrassed for her rn 😭

“Don’t tell me what to do,” comes the immediate answer. She’s so snappy that Roe looks up in alarm.

I know id jump off a cliff if i were Mauve, everybody hates her guts AND shes telepathic? Death sentence

Fiona picks up a knife and, quickly and calmly, plunges it through her own hand.

Ugh queen

This is a habit. This is something Fiona is doing at home.

Oh no!

Roe starts college and immediately seems to love it. I don’t see or hear a lot from him, and I try not to take it too personally.

I WOULD BE SO SAD

Kesha is underrated!!! Also remember when she had a dollar sign in her name?

Lmaoooo felt

a square-jawed guy who seems to be of Asian descent

Why is this description absolutely sending me rn

I want to talk to her, say that I would never think that about anyone, but then I realize that the only person that would make feel better would be me.

i just realized this book is about white guilt

FAERIES????

I wonder, idly, about putting the words SICK FISH GET BASHED on a tote bag.

This would be a sick tat

I shake my head. “No, that can’t be. This isn’t what it’s like, Fiona. You know that. Kilbeg has always been really liberal.” She narrows her eyes at me. “If you’re white, yeah, I can see why you’d probably think that.” My gut goes sour.

The second hand embarrassment in this book is just too much

“Backlash.” She shrugs. “It always happens. Look at America: Obama, then Trump. It’s just how it goes.”

ope

But he has not made estimations about her character. And at the end of the day, it is who Lily is, and not what she is, that makes her special.

“You think I invented reading people’s minds?” “But you can’t read people’s minds, can you, Maeve?” “Not right now, no.”

Omg Roe we're GASLIGHTING NOW ??

Now this is another part of Roe’s life that I’m not a part of: another happy memory made without me, a living relic of his unhappiest ones.

This book is stressing me out soooo much

“So what do we do? Spend more time with him?” “But he doesn’t want to spend time with us,” she replies, and it’s like being punched in the stomach. She glances over at me and seems to genuinely regret saying it like that. “Sorry.”

IM STRESSED

“I had a dream,” I suddenly remember. “All right, Dr. King,” Fiona says.

LMAO

Fiona has a crush on Nuala’s daughter.

YEEEEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

“You could, I don’t know . . . you could make Jeff Bezos pay his taxes with that gift.

She's so me

“This was ages ago. Like, January.”

Was time rly like this in high school😷
