Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Because the thought of losing you from this world…it’s like losing a part of myself.”
For a moment, time stood still, the past and present merging. He was both the teenager who needed her but couldn’t have her and the man who was just realizing he’d never stop loving her.
“Good…because as much as you need me to be okay, I need you to be okay more.” Then she did something he didn’t expect. She leaned in and kissed him.
Memories were made in the small moments as much as they were the big. The moments of pause. The ones you think are forgettable but are often the ones held the longest.
“I lied because I didn’t want someone like you, someone so beautiful and smart…a woman with so much potential…to be tied to someone like me, who came from nothing and could very easily have ended up as nothing. I didn’t want the ugly of my life to touch you, River.”
“River, there is always room for more books. And if the day ever comes when there isn’t, well then, it’s the house that goes, not the books.”
“I love you, Rae. You’re the first person I ever loved, and I want you to be the last.”
