“Nothing was more deadly than a hurting person pushed to a breaking point.”

JASPER!!!!

“It’s hard for people to understand that other people sometimes just shut down; that not everyone’s brain works in the same way when dealing with stress.”

“It’s hard being the person who needs to slow down when you’re the one who is always picking up the pieces for everyone else.”

"Companionship is a difficult thing to navigate when I feel overwhelmed. When I know that in all likelihood this person I care bout and who cares about me is going to work hard to make me feel better... but in the same reality the idea of anyone being near me, existing in my space and wanting basic human interaction from me feels like the heaviest weight I cant survive." THIS RIGHT HERE.

"There's a responsibility that comes with being the child that's an extension of the parenting unit: never be the one to rock the boat. You're the anchor that keeps everyone in place. There's an unspoken requirement never to have problems you can't resolve yourself quietly, and it's a condition I've never failed to meet until now." *I FEEL SEEN*

Look. Listen. I get it but just turn the damn light off already 😂

“Wherever we are next, my heart will be with you.”

“Practicing grief is of no real benefit to anyone. Losing a loved one is not something you can rehearse.”

“Do you know how rare you are, in a world where the sky rains fire?”

“I love you, and I have loved you, and I will love you.”

“It’ll hurt you more to know.”

“No, Winter. You’re my only baby mama.”

No one but Elsie Silver could deliver this line and it not only somehow not be cringe but I am also giggly over it.

It’s giving Tamlin

“Be cautious, as the most beautiful things can be tempting but they’re often the deadliest.”

Another who did this to you

We have a chapter two “who did this to you?”

“Maybe good things were the same as bad things. Sometimes you just had to let them happen.”

“Alex didn’t know what she missed, only that she was homesick for something, maybe for someone, she’d never been.”

“No one knew who she was. Not North. Not this monster in front of her. Not Dawes or Mercy it Sandow or any of them. Only Darlington had guessed.”

“Alex didn’t know what lived in boys like Blake. Beautiful boys who should be happy, who wanted for nothing but still found things to take.”

“He needed her and she needed him. That was how most disasters began.”

Just flipped from “this is intriguing” to “I am very interested”. Enjoying the audio a bit more than the physical book but the writing is so good.

"A reminder of the night you realized that things might not be as perfect with my brother as they seem."

“After being respectful of Margo’s wishes…” aka sending multiple harassing emails on a work email about what he wanted to do to her. Yes I see that.

This is an HR nightmare and not in a cute way. How is THIS better to the board than him being single?

You’re losing me with the office thing. I cannot figure out why he’s already smitten with her. There was zero build up. Right now I’m only here for the scene teased in that reel.

Kat Singleton knows how to market because I’ve seen so many of her reels promoting this book that it jumped the line on my never ending TBR so here we go 🎉

“Do you know much about metalwork, Captain? I do. It’s under the most unbearable conditions that the sharpest, most dangerous weapons are forged.”
