This is sending me crying

"... not just surviving, but enjoying"

This hit 🎯

Thank you, Rebbeca for chapters 29-31 (the last 3 I read) for giving me hope for this book /Why Rebecca did you give me hope if the fun stops here?

Which one is it going to be? And yes, I am laughing at my own absurdity :)

Well, considering I'm only 27% in and Onyx is almost here, I believe I lost the 'Can Noi finish this book in 2 days gameshow'

oh well

Take #2

End of part 1 of the graphic audio (start of chapter 19)

Here we go again

"Thank you, for being yourself with me." 🤧

"... it made the bad days bearable, and the good days memorable"
"do you still play?"
"no"
"why not?"
"because music is food for the soul, and mine feels like it's missing"

"He may be a murderer, but he has a really nice smile."
This made me think of someone specific 🫢

"I don't think happily ever after is an 'if' thing, I think it's 'when'."

I WILL FINISH THIS BOOK IN THE NEXT HOUR! IT WILL HAPPEN! SO HELP ME ------

I just want to say thank you. 2024 was the year where I started being interactive here, I got to talk to amazing people, BR 38 books, and go through 321 books - which is more than I could have dreamed of. I hope 2025 will bring more friends and BR, more amazing books, and some good luck for us all. I love you and sorry for being cheesy <3

Please tell me this is not that annoying the whole way through

“I love your family, Joey,” she cut me off by saying, voice thick with emotion. “Each and every one of you.” She winked. “Especially you.” Especially me. Well, shit."

Mama K being the best

“When did it happen?” Edel asked once her husband had left the room. “When did what happen?” “When did you lose yourself?” “The day I was born.”

“You’re overstepping, Aoife.”

He better watch out, I might just overstep and push him off a cliff

“I’m here and I’m going nowhere.” “Yeah?” “Yeah.” He nodded slowly, eyes locked on mine. “I won’t run.” “You swear?” “I swear,” Joey replied, tone laced with sincerity. “I won’t leave you alone in this.” “Then that’s all you need to say,” I sobbed, nuzzling his cheek with mine. “Because that’s all I need to know.”

“Loving your son is effortless,” I cut her off by saying, pushing my damp hair out of my eyes. “It’s getting him to love himself that’s the hard part.”

“I want you to hold fucking on to her!” I roared, turning around to face him. “Can you do that, Johnny Kavanagh?” I clutched the front door with a death grip as I met his gaze head-on. “Can you look after my sister for me?” Or have I read you all wrong? “Yes.” He nodded stiffly. “I can.”

THE PAIN I'M IN FOR

"Joey’s mother made me feel stabby..."

That is definitely the word for it

“What do you see when I look at you?”
“What do you see, Joe?”
“You,” he whispered brokenly. “I see you, Molloy.”
“You see love,” I corrected softly, releasing his hand to cup his stubbly cheek. “You see acceptance.” He swallowed but didn’t reply. “We’re mirrors, Joe,” I told him, taking his hand and placing it on my cheek. “Everything you feel for me is reciprocated. It’s mirroring back at you.” “Molloy.”

“I’m so fucking proud of you... “You don’t even realize how brave you are.” It was the truth. Where she saw weakness, I saw strength. Where she saw fear, I saw resilience. Unlike me, Shannon didn’t need to alter her mind to survive the world we lived in. She thought she was the weakest link in the family chain, when it couldn’t be further from the truth. My sister was titanium..."

“Dave,” Quinn said quietly. “I thought you said Pie wasn’t poisonous.” “He’s not!” Dave’s green brow creased in thought. “He’s not poisonous, he’s venomenomous.” “Venomous,” Quinn murmured. “S’wat I said!” Dave said with a proud grin. “There’s a diff’rence!”

“There will be no killing,” he said, and then looked around at the dead bandits lying on the bloody field. “Well, no more killing. Well, no more killing yet.” He sighed. “There will be no killing of anyone I like, clear?”

“For a moment there I thought I was important.” Quinn twisted in the saddle, his mouth quirking up. “You are.”

Aww
