“No. He was not getting kidnapped again. He drew the fucking line at five kidnappings.” — 💀😭 brooo this poor guy ahsdfjkdbskdjgk

Wait so he has the opportunity to go back home safely but he won’t take it bc he told Maisie he’d help her first? Broooo imagine giving up the chance to go back home + risking staying inside a quarantine zone for the rest of your life just to help a person you met yesterday???? Couldn’t be me.

“Plus, he was distracted by Maisie.
She’d often walk just a bit ahead of him, and the view was…well, he shouldn’t have been looking at the view.”

I don’t understand allosexuals. I truly don’t. Is this genuinely how y’all look at people?? (Even people you barely know?!) 😰

“People are scared of what they don’t understand” — jesus christ bro we get it ffs stop repeating that line! Enough!!! ✋🏻

“He was vaguely insulted that he had to be watched, but on the growing list of his kidnappers, these were certainly the nicest ones.” — lol

“I want to meet you in every place I ever loved.
Listen to me—I am your echo.
I would rather break the world than lose you.
(…)
“I love you. I love you. I love you. I’ll write it in waves. In skies. In my heart. You’ll never see, but you will know. I’ll be all the poets, I’ll kill them all and take each one’s place in turn, and every time love’s written in all the strands it will be to you.”

“I want to meet you in every place I have loved.”

“But when I think of you, I want to be alone together. I want to strive against and for. I want to live in contact. I want to be a context for you, and you for me.
I love you, and I love you, and I want to find out what that means together.”

oh

“I veer rhapsodic; my prose purples.”

bitch?? as if your prose isn’t already purple like?? this whole book is literally just 💜☯️🔮☂️👿💟🧞‍♀️🍇💁🏻‍♀️👾🟪☔️🧕🟣🚺🤰🙋🏻‍♀️♓️🍆🦄🌂🤷🏻‍♀️🦹🏻‍♂️👩‍🎤

well that escalated quickly… 😶‍🌫️ (also lowkey i didnt *feel* this development…….)

“every evening I see a red sky bleed over blue water and think of us. Have you ever watched this kind of sunset? The colours don’t blend: the redder the sky the bluer the water, as we tilt away from the sun.”

yo that’s kinda gay

working this hard just to create a perfume that you hope your penpal might like…… hmm i see you

These attempts at humour are not really working for me.

Idk what you’re saying. Literal gibberish to me. Perhaps my english is not good enough for this book… 🧍

“A fugitive becomes a queen or a scientist or, worse, a poet.” — bruh

“I was so lonely before you. Except I didn’t even realize I was lonely. I thought that was the way I was supposed to be.” — oh… :(

“we didn’t start dating for a long time, even though we both really liked each other.”

y’all literally went on a date the day you met lmao what do you mean,,,,???? your *1st conversation* was you asking him on a date??

«“His ass is a paradox. (…) It’s just—so big? For someone so lean? But not too big. It’s like the perfect handful. Two handfuls. Which is good. Because I’ve got two hands.”

He looks at his hands, considering.

Yes. Good.»

yo what the fuck am i reading?? 😭😭😭

“If you really loved me, you would call more often,”

fair point, bc his mother was barely mentioned this whole book 🥴🥴🥴

we’re only now finding out the MC has a sister? 🥴 SEE what i mean when i say the author *did not care* about anything other than the romance? 💀

These ballet classes were literally mentioned once. Also, there’s a surprising lack of figure skating in a book with a figure skater MC. I feel like the author just doesn’t care about the plot outside the romance lol.

“Eli listens to Halsey declare that she’s heading straight for the castle” — taste 👌🏻

“I married him for his dimples and money,”
“Fair. His ass isn’t half bad either”

Why is this the 1st thing you say to a *complete stranger* you just met 3 seconds ago, about their husband???

Once again: these characters don’t behave like strangers, even though they are. They all talk like they’ve been besties for years.

“I’ve seen the photosets on Tumblr. His ass is a national treasure.” — lmao???

“It’s nice. That people think, you know. That.”
“What?”
“That someone would want me. That someone like you would want me.”

ouch 🤧

Okay I’m super happy Eli called Alex out for his ridiculous outburst, and Alex admitted he was being stupid and apologized for his behaviour. 👍🏻

Alex’s jealousy isn’t cute. Eli can hug his friends. Besides, you 2 aren’t even dating. Sit the fuck down, sir.

“he thinks he and Eli could be good for each other. Really good. Under different circumstances. In a different life.
Or maybe, if he was just a little braver, in this one.”

oww 🥺

WE NEVER SAW THIS SCENE!!! Why does the author keep skipping scenes and just telling us about them?? Show, don’t tell!! Please! 😭💔

They’re super adorable but their relationship was barely developed… 😭
