Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Let’s just say sometimes books are better than reality.”
so damn true.
Maybe a real man hadn’t gotten me off in a while, but enough fictional men said the right things to make me blush.
LMAO ONGGG
“Life happens when we’re not looking in all directions. Sometimes it’s messy.”
yeah lol
Men were making me consider going another year without inner thigh touches.
ONGGG
Smutty books were what got me through my dry spell. Smutty books were what I took to bed each night and why I kept my ceiling fan running nonstop. The heat from the pages was almost enough to cause an orgasm.
LMAO HELLO??
Why were all the jerks so undeniably attractive? It was a shame
ong.
Maybe I did need to have someone to help me get through the next few months of loneliness. Someone to date me. Someone to distract me. Someone to hold me at night so I wouldn’t have to cry into my pillow. I already felt the heaviness of the season coming back to me.
🥲
This brings me to the next ‘don’t.’ Don’t belittle yourself. Don’t think you’re not worthy or capable of quality men. You are what you feed yourself, and your current diet is shit.”
needed this.
A romance author who struggles with finding love.” “What can I say? God has a funny sense of humor.”
i fear this is me
I went for, too—emotionally unavailable and uninterested in me. What could I say? I had a type.
REAL
Yeah. Except for you.

“Don’t do that, Holly,” I whispered, lacing my hands together in my lap. “Don’t do what?” “Read the parts of my book that I don’t share with people.” “It’s a good book, Kai. I wish you’d let me read it all.”
aww :/ want this someday.
I now understood why they called them crushes—because they crushed your soul repeatedly.
i fear this is me w any crush
“Why aren’t I worth staying for?”
🥲
“I’m just trying to figure out what I did wrong.”
story if my life
“I feel like there’s not a person out there for me.
ughh
“That little ‘lick, lick, pump, slide’ thing?” She placed her fingers to her lips and kissed them. “Chef’s kiss. Keep up the good work. I’ll leave you a five-star review on the dating app.”
😭😭
It was at that moment I completely fell for Kai Kane.
aww
“You’re the kind of man I’d put at the top of my Christmas list.”
why do i want this ://
I kissed her because I craved her taste. I kissed her because I wanted to. I kissed her because the only thing I could think to do at that moment was to lay my lips against hers.
im scared of never getting this :(((
Right then and there, I knew I never wanted that man to leave my life.
hm. I wanna feel this.
I stayed because he was the only thing that comforted my troubled heart. He was beginning to feel like home to me.
Want this badly.
“You’re the best person I’ve ever known.”
awww his words are sooo 🥹soft.
I wanted the ‘pull me in and make love to my lips’ kind of kiss. The kiss I’d daydream about for the rest of my life. The kiss that would change us from us into…us.
This. I want this.
“I see everything when I look at you.”
“I knew you would understand because you’re a good girl,”
fuckk.
“I want to do that with you forever.”
“Yeah, well…what can I say? You make me believe in fairy tales.”
“That’s the problem with trauma. Those who inflict it aren’t the ones who have to do the unpacking to heal from it.”
“Holly,” he whispered. “I’m so glad I met you.”
“Because I’m falling in love with you, too.”
“Because you’re everything. You’re the sun, you’re the moon, you’re the stupid snowman in someone’s front yard with the stupid crooked carrot smile. You’re every good day and every crappy night and every in-between mundane afternoon. So I’m sorry, you can’t choose to leave me. It’s not an option. Do whatever you have to do to get past this. Be pissed at me. Ghost me for a day or two. Cuss me out and shove me around, but don’t leave me, Holly, please.” My voice cracked as I stepped closer to her. “Because if there is no you, then there is nothing.”
She cringed. “Oh my gosh, when did you become corny?” “I started reading romance novels.”
When you found a person who was able to do that for you…when you found a love that allowed you to be yourself fully… Well, that was the kind of love you wanted to keep around.
noted.
“Marry me.”
AHHH KNEW ITTT
If it weren’t for all the bad things that happened in my past, I doubted I would’ve truly appreciated the good I’d found.
and i put faith in this.
I was the luckiest man alive, and I owed it all to the woman who chose to love me. She taught me that—that love was a choice. It was something we chose day in and day out. Love was a verb. It was active, growing, and evolving, and I was happy I could explore said love with Holly.
ughh🥹
My Holly Jolly. My forever date. For as long as we both shall live.
SOBBINGG.
