hmmmm my suspicions are growing... loving the little twists!

ohhh shitshitshitshitshit :/

"Human brains don't fully develop until age twenty-five. Seven more years until I was a full person. Who the hell am I? I thought. Too old to be a real teenage, too young to drink. Old enough to die in a war, fuck grown men, and be completely confused about what I was doing with my life."

OMG what's this?? Characters who, when things get rough, actually work together to make things better??? ahhhh I'm in heaven.

"I kissed my teacher in the shadow of the water tower, beneath the stars."

ohhh fuck - um, this could go WAY wrong :/

I am highlighting EVERYTHING!!!!!!

"He listened to us earnestly, his face filled with curiosity, amusement, respect. He was smarter than us but not smug. He shared intelligence like a secret, making us conspirators in it. I could feel the whole class falling in love with him.
And every time his eyes touched me, the air jolted."

"I don't know if I can do this," he said.
"It'll be fine." I swallowed… "Mr. Wilke."

*grins* ok. I want to be BFFs with this heroine --> "I respect people who get nerdy as fuck about something they love."

SQUEE!!! I just settled in to read more and got only 1 page in and was already squeeing over how incredible the writing was. SO GOOD!!!!!

I didn't get ANY more reading done tonight and I can't read more til tomorrow night and I am DYING cuz I'm in love with this book and am desperate to get back to it!!! #bookwormproblems

I am in total book LOVE here!!!

wow the WRITING is just incredible!!!!
"It seems like the whole world has figured out how to be happy, but no one's letting me in on the secret."
There are moments, when you're getting to know someone, when you realize something deep and buried in you is deep and buried in them too. It feels like meeting a stranger you've known your whole life.

Starting this one now! I have high hopes :)
"My name's Maise, by the way. Maise O'Malley. Yeah, I'm Irish as hell. But you probably knew that from the drinking, right?"

Say WHAAAAAT?????!!?!?!

Seriously guys, I am TOTALLY loving this!!

LOL!!
"I don't go for the real lovey-dovey words like sweetie and honey. But Hudson is way too formal."
"I like formal."
"I like cherry-flavored blow pops. It doesn't make them appropriate for every situation."

"I'm drawn to you, Alayna… because you're beautiful and sexy and smart and yes, a little crazy, maybe, but you're not broken. And that makes me hopeful. For me."

LMAO!!! L O V E I T!!!!
"Tell me, Alayna - were you first attracted to my son because of his money or his name?"
Pissed didn't even begin to describe how I felt. I was seething, but in control. Withough skipping a beat, I wrapped my arm around Hudson's and answered. "Neither. I was attracted to him because he's hot. Though, I stayed with him because he's fucking awesome in bed."

"If I wondered that the whole act was a display… his whisper in my ear said otherwise, "This, precious. This is for real."

Two words: SHOWER. SCENE.

gnite everyone! this book is HOT! :)

"In about two minutes, Alayna, I'm going to come around this desk and kiss you until you're wet and gasping for air."

"I apologize for overwhelming you. That wasn't my intent. But I want you to know that whether or not you decide to help with my situation, I will continue to seduce you. I'm a man who gets what he wants. And I want you."

Oh yeah! I'm hooked!!
"This pretend relationship - to what extent would I be expected to perform?"
"Don't pussy foot about it. You're asking about sex." His eyes darkened again. "I never pay for sex, Alayna. When I fuck you, it will be for free."

Righteous :)
