Patch’s Notes & Highlights

I Am Not Your Final Girl by Claire C. Holland

16 highlights

it’s not the Devil you need to worry about, but the devil you know.

“I will build myself up so high in such a short time that when he leaves me, I will become a lightning storm, a nuclear apocalypse.

I will not come out of this with nothing.”
― Frances Cha, If I Had Your Face

“At the end of the day, whether one returns to the past or travels to the future, the present doesn't change.”

“The old gods may be great, but they are neither kind nor merciful. They are fickle, unsteady as moonlight on water, or shadows in a storm. If you insist on calling them, take heed: be careful what you ask for, be willing to pay the price. And no matter how desperate or dire, never pray to the gods that answer after dark.”
― V.E. Schwab, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue

“They glance at each other. It is only for a brief moment, but I notice the look between them. The smiles they exchange. Coy, understanding, flirtatious. I realize there is something in this second that I can't understand. An understanding born from a history, a history I do not know, a history of the forbidden, that appears to make the exchange all the more exciting. They both know, in their bones, that the look between them is theirs only.”
― Josh Silver, Fruit Fly

“Water flows from high places to low places. That is the nature of gravity. Emotions also seem to act according to gravity. When in the presence of someone with whom you have a bond, and to whom you have entrusted your feelings, it is hard to lie and get away with it. The truth just wants to come flowing out. This is especially the case when you are trying to hide your sadness or vulnerability. It is much easier to conceal sadness from a stranger, or from someone you don’t trust.”
― Toshikazu Kawaguchi, Before the Coffee Gets Cold
