“What’s her hurry?”
“She needs to get home before the sun comes up,” Gibsie said loudly.
“You know how vampires tend to burst into ash at the first sign of daylight.”

💀💀💀

“You want me out of your life, Johnny Kavanagh? Fine. Consider me gone!”

HALLELUJAH

“My point is fuck off, Bella,” Gibsie told her. “Fuck right off, if you want me to get technical. Far, far away to the land of Johnny doesn’t want to be with you so get a life.”

Nicely said Gibs

“Am I allowed home?” he asked. “Can you have me back yet?” Feely arched a brow. “You’ve been separated?” “Temporarily,” Gibsie replied, sounding defensive. “It won’t last.” Feely chuckled. “What did ye do?” “The usual.” Gibsie shrugged and waved a hand around aimlessly. “Broke the rules, stole a girl, got in some shit.” Feely shook his head. “I don’t know about you two. I honestly don’t.”

It's ok Feely, there there

“You told them?” “I told everyone,” Gibsie shot back

Of course he did 😂

"Chapter 26: Boom, Boom, Fucking Boom, Buddy"

Gibs, what did you do

“I wish I could do that.”
“Do what?”
“Be brave,” I whispered, feeling wistful.
“You already are.” He turned to look at me then, green eyes full of pain. “So fucking brave.”

Joey is the best brother and I'll fight anyone who says otherwise

“The truth’s hard,” I admitted quietly.
My brother nodded stiffly. “Especially when you’ve been programmed to forget it.”

💔

“You handle this with the truth,” Joey shot back sternly. “Or you just tell them to fuck off and mind their business if you don’t want to talk about it, but you don’t lie anymore, Shan. You got that? You don’t cover for that piece of shit a minute longer because you’ve done nothing wrong.”

Finally

"I couldn’t drive either, and I had lost my Gibsie privileges for making him take me over there in the first place."

Not Gibs! That's cruel Mama K

"Fuck. My. Life."

Sorry J 🤭

Oh so I had 3 good chapters and now we are back to this mess, are we? WHY DON'T YOU WANT ME TO BE HAPPY

“Well, I think you are a credit to yourself, Joey Lynch,” Mam coaxed... “You should be so proud of yourself.” Joey’s brow furrowed so deeply… “Why?” “Why what, love?” Mam asked kindly. “Nothing.” He shifted around again… “Doesn’t even matter.” “I think it does,” Mam replied softly. “Say what you were going to say, love. I’m listening.” “I, uh, I—”

“Are there any more Lynch children in my house, Jonathan?” “No,” I muttered, not meeting her eye. “I only took two.” “Jesus, Mary, Joseph, and the donkey,” Mam wailed as she bounded for the hallway, followed by Joey. “What am I going to do with you?”

🤣

“Would you believe me if I said I didn’t know?”
“Not in the slightest,”

Fair enough Mama K

“Everything inside of me was swept up in him, and I couldn’t see beyond it. I couldn’t think beyond the surge of feelings I had for him. Even my brain, the part of me that was supposed to heed caution, was encouraging me to be reckless with my heart, to throw it all in with this boy and trust him not to break me.

And I was all in.”

“I need you, too, because you calm something inside of me. You make me feel good. Like I don’t have to…” His voice trailed off for a moment as he clearly pondered what he was trying to say. “You make me feel like I’m enough as I am,”

MY HEART

SPOILER #3


“It’s like you see me—and I see you. Christ, I think you saw through me that very first day on the pitch at school, because I sure as hell haven’t been the same since, Shannon... I’m not used to having someone want me for…well, for me—but you did. And you took the time to notice me. To see things that no one else was seeing, things I didn’t want to acknowledge to myself.”

SPOILER #2
(although I think everyone has already read this book)

“I love you,”
“Present tense—as in I mean it now. And maybe I shouldn’t be saying that, maybe I’m fucking everything up by telling you that when you’re in the middle of your family stuff, but it’s the truth.” He shrugged helplessly. “I’m in love with you. I think I’ve been that way for a while now—a long fucking while, if we’re being totally honest.”

SPOILER
(although I think everyone has already read this book)



“I don’t just like you. I fucking—”
“Shannon, I love you.”
“You love me?” He nodded slowly, “Like, a crazy fucking amount.”
“And I’d ask your permission, but I didn’t even ask mine.”
“I just…I thought you were high when you said it that night,”
“I didn’t think you meant it.”
“I was definitely high that night, And I definitely meant it that night.”

"“What about Joey?” Johnny asked then, switching things up. I froze for a moment before twisting around to face him. “What did you say?” “I said what about Joey? Who’s helping him?”

What about Joey.
He asked about Joey!
Three words that meant more to me than anything else he could have said in that moment."

OH BABE

“Johnny?”
“Can I ask you one more thing?”
“Yeah… Yeah, Shan. You can ask me anything.”
“Are you ever going to kiss me?”
Holy fuck. Keep the head, Kav. Keep your cool and do not scare her off…
“Do you want me to kiss you?”

“That’s what I want...”
“I want to kiss you, Shannon.”
“I will kiss you,”
“If that’s what you want.”
“Okay.”
“Okay.”

CONSENT DONE WELL

"“Why did you go with him?” Smiling back at him, I slipped my hands under the woolen blanket and snuggled deeper into the couch. “If you’re not into these kinds of films?”
“Because he’s my best friend,” he replied, chuckling to himself as he stretched his legs out on the coffee table. “And he’s done worse for me.”"

Their friendship is everything

“Well, well, well,” Johnny mused, voice dripping with sarcasm. “Looks like someone else”—he paused to make air quotes—“jumped the gun.” “I most certainly did not,” Claire huffed, folding her arms across her chest. “The only thing I jump, Johnny Kavanagh, is a skipping rope.”


ON THE FLOOR CRY LAUGHING

“Solution.” Claire tsked. “Uh-huh. Yeah, if that’s what you’re calling it.” “I was,” Johnny replied with a frown. “Yeah,” Claire scoffed. “You were jumping the gun.” “No, I bleeding wasn’t.” Johnny looked to me for help. “I swear, I wasn’t.” “I believe you,” I offered. “Sure,” Claire drawled.

🤣🤣🤣

“Whoa there, stallion,” Claire said, waving a hand in the air. “Steady up. I said she needed normal teenage experiences, but don’t go jumping the gun here.”
Gibsie snickered. “Boom.”

😂

“Shut up, Gerard!” Johnny and Claire both growled in unison."

LMAOOOO

"Hi, Shannon,"
"Hi, Johnny."

“I think I’ll stay here,” I blurted out
“You’ll stay?”
“If you want me to?”
“I want you here,” he told me, never taking his eyes off mine. “I want you to stay with me.”
Oh god. My heart. These words. This boy.

Crying, screaming, throwing up and kicking my feet

“Until one day… the pretty blond who always watched him, a girl I was sure Joey had never spoken more than two words to, chased him outside to the schoolyard and stopped him... The girl had caused an unmerciful scene… She fisted his school jumper in both hands and dragged his face down to hers, kissing him right there, without thought for suspension... I never did find out what Aoife said that day…”
