This book is WILD. 😳

“I’m old enough to know what I want in life, and strong enough to take it.”

This is the appeal of age-gap stories for me. 😂

“That’s the trouble with falling in love. It’s a messy, ungraceful stumble into a whirlwind of chaos. It doesn’t always feel good. It’s a fall. You just have to trust that the person you’re falling with is smart enough to catch you before you hurt anything important.”

“I know you’re not ready right now, and that’s okay. I’ll be—I’ll keep coming here. Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. You let me know when.”

This book is GOOD, y’all. 😭

“Falling in love. Slowly and carefully and then all at once.”

THIS BOOK. 😭

“I just don’t think we should go any further if I’m—if I’m figuring things out. You deserve someone who can give you everything, Caleb.”

“I want you.”

🥺😭

“It’s me that’s the problem. There are parts of me that are broken and I don’t—I don’t know how to fix them for you, Caleb.”

“You don’t have to fix anything for me.”

🥺

“You’re doing so, so good. Such a good girl for me, sweetheart.”

THIS TOOK ME OUT. With how sweet the characters are written, I did not see this coming. 😳

Eyes like burning coals glance up at me. “You’re not supposed to work for it, sweetheart. I am.” And then Caleb goes to work.

😳🧍‍♀️🧎‍♀️

“The only dessert I’m interested in having tonight is Layla, in any variation she’s willing to serve up.”

IT’S ABOUT TO GET STEAMY HERE. 🫣👀

I’m reading this one a lot faster than the other two. 👀

“Everyone keeps saying that, but I’m not so sure,” I confess. “I’d like something to be mine. Someone, maybe.” Mine and mine alone. Secret smiles and easy touches and lips pressed against the back of my neck. Easy affection and comfort in the mundane.

🥺

“She deserves better. I’d like to try my best to show her that. If she’ll let me.”

🧍‍♀️🧎‍♀️

“And what do you get out of this little arrangement?”

“Besides time with a beautiful woman?”

Damn, he’s smooth. I’D FOLD INSTANTLY.

P/S The arrangement is for them to go on dates with each other to why they haven’t succeeded in this relationships. However, the MMC actually has a crush on FMC who is oblivious to it. 🤭

“Why are you giving these guys your time? Why are you settling for crumbs when you deserve the whole damn cake?”

“That’s a really lovely thought, but sometimes crumbs are all you’ve got.”

WHAT IS IT ABOUT B.K. BORISON’S BOOKS THAT MAKE ME WANNA CRY WITHIN THE FIRST FEW CHAPTERS. 😭

“The truth is, I’m falling for Damien Martinez, and I am so wholly fucked because I don’t think there’s an easy way out of this.”

YOU AND ME BOTH. 😭

“My eyes follow his hands as they move to his cuff, undoing the button and moving to the opposite arm.”

Is it just me that finds this SO FUCKING ATTRACTIVE. 🧍‍♀️🧎‍♀️

“I never felt this way with any man my age.”

My obsession with age-gap was never just a phase, was it. 🧍‍♀️

“You are, rubia. I see it every time I’m with you. I don’t need kids or anything else for that matter to be happy with you. It’s just you. You make me happy. I’ll do what it takes to prove it to you.”

If I don’t meet a Damien when I’m 28, then what even is the point. 🧍‍♀️

“I don’t want to bring more kids into this world. I see day in and day out the horrors of the world. Just how shitty people can be, how absolutely low people can go. Some days, I look at a case file and the future feels so fucking bleak. I can’t bring a child into the world knowing that’s out there.”

“I want to give everything to a man and let him consume me. I want to fall so hard that I don’t know where up is. I want to be selfish, and I want to be his and his alone. I don’t want to share.”

This book not only succeeded by writing my dream man but Abigail’s thoughts and feelings? I FEEL CALLED OUT AND EXPOSED. 😭
