“Bryce met Hunt’s blazing gaze, her chest heaving, head a dizzy, starry mess. She said the only thing in her head, her mind, her soul. “I love you.”

<3

Manifesting BryceHunt endgame 🥲

that ending 🙁

“The first time I saw you I thought you were the most beautiful girl I’d ever seen. I could’ve watched you forever. The first time I kissed you…Well, that might as well have been my first kiss ever.”
I see hints of a smile creep onto her face. “Yeah. You are a smooth talker.”
I give her a wounded frown. “Sweetheart, would I ever lie to you?”
“Don’t try. I’d see right through it.”

<3

paper clip ring 😩

I missed YA dystopia 😭

“A soft heart was a gift, whether given easily or with great reluctance. I would never take it for granted again.”

✨

Plot-twist ‼️

"You," she whispered, "are the only person he could possibly hold over me now."

SCREAMING 😩

“Soft hearts make the universe worth living in.”

🥲

“I didn't mean to involve you," Akos said quietly.
"Oh, don't patronize me. Manipulating me was a crucial part of your plan. And it's exactly what I expected."
He looked like someone I could have wanted, if we had found a way to trust each other.
"Fine," Akos said, again in that quiet voice. "I meant to involve you. But I didn't expect to feel bad about it." I felt choked. I didn't know why. I ignored it.

"I may be in pain, but I am not weak," I whispered. He stayed still in my grasp, but I could feel the tension in his back and his arm. "You are convenient, but you are not necessary. Understand?"

Cyra 😮‍💨

“He made a sound in his throat, leaned in a little closer. “I know they don’t require a picture to keep your account active. This was about making you smile, not me.” His gaze fell to her mouth, taking its time finding her eyes again. “Well worth it.” ”

AAAAAHHHH

“Because you’re it for me. Whether it’s today, tomorrow, a year, or decades from now, that’ll never change. […] I’m human, Red. I’ve made mistakes in the past, and I’ll make many more in the future. But one mistake I’ll never make is letting you go, not when there’s even a sliver of a chance left for us. Because the possibility of you is better than the reality of anyone else.”

<333

“Before, Jules was beautiful in the way grass was green and oceans were deep. It was a fact of life, but not something that particularly touched me.
Now, she was beautiful in a way that made me want to drown in her, to let her fill every inch of my soul until she consumed me. It didn’t matter if it killed me, because in a world where I was surrounded by death, she was the only thing that made me feel alive.”

“Because you’re mine,” I said against her mouth. “Let another man touch you, Jules, and you’ll find out just how easily I can take a man’s life as I can save one.”

AAAAHHHH

“Cocky Josh was a pain in my ass, but for reasons I’d rather not examine, I preferred him being a pain to being in pain. ”

😩

“His dark chuckle reverberated through me. “You’re my personal hell, Red.” He gave my hair another sharp tug. “And God help me, I don’t want to fucking leave.”

SCREAMING

“And they had both smiled. True, broad smiles. Belonging to the people they might have been without the tattoo on his brow and the grief in her heart and this whole stupid fucking world around them.”

Pages 600-704 were pure pain and admiration and agony and heartbreak <3

the turning point 🥲

“It smelled like paradise. Like home and eternity and like exactly where he was meant to be.”

<3
