“you might not love yourself, but I do. I love you enough for the both of us,”

😭😭❤️‍🩹

My heart cracked clean open when I felt the first tear land on my collarbone, followed by another and another. He was still moving inside me, still taking what he needed from me, but he was broken. And I was terrified that I couldn’t fix him.

I AM MISERABLE. I AM DEVASTATED.

“The first time I laid eyes on you, and the first time I understood what it meant to have my heart beating for someone outside of my family.”

I LOVE HIM SFM 😭

“Don’t hate me, Molloy. You’re all I have to wake up for in the morning.”

Kill me why don't you

“Do you love my daughter?”
Heart thumping violently in my chest, I felt myself nod. “Entirely.” And then I heard myself say, “For about five years now.”

shut up! I knew he fell for on that very first day! You little liar

“I know who you are. The quintessential lost boy.” Her lips grazed mine as she spoke. “Don’t worry, Peter Pan, I’ll be your Wendy.”

The way they love and care for each other 🥺 soulmatism at its peak

“You need to run.”
She shook her head. “I don’t run.”
“Run,” I desperately urged. “Run, Molloy.”
“I’m staying right here,” she whispered. “With you.”

The way she loves him>>>>>

I have been listening to Iris by The Goo Goo Dolls on repeat ever since I started reading this book and it's just so joeyaoife song 🥺❤️‍🩹 every lyric is about Joey Lynch!

“Please just stay.” He paused to release another slow breath before continuing. “This is the only time it’s ever stopped. Please don’t break it.”
“This is the only time what’s ever stopped?” I croaked out, feeling my heart thunder wildly in my chest. “And don’t break what?”
“My head,” he mumbled, before adding, “The quiet.”

the urge to protect this boy 😭 is so fucking strong

“I’m not your boyfriend, Molloy. I’m not supposed to care about you, remember?”
“No, you’re not supposed to,” I agreed with a shiver as he pinned me to the bonnet of the car. Excitement thrummed to life inside of me. “But you still do.”

the tension. the angst. the pain.

In my head it was die or get high. And I had too many people depending on me not to die.

his thoughts are like a dagger to my heart

“You’re my favorite friend, with my favorite legs.”
“And just so you know, Joe…” She leaned in close and pressed a kiss to my cheek. “You’re my favorite friend, with my favorite everything.”

i love them. i love them. i love them so freaking much it's insane 😭❤️

“I am nothing like that man in any other way.”
“You are,” she said before leaving the room. “In every way.” And with those words, my mother cut me deeper and more viciously than my father ever had. Ever could.

My heart is breaking for this boy on every damn page 😭

With whatever I had inside of me, I would protect and defend them from harm. They would never have to sit behind a barricaded bedroom door with a hurley in hand. I would be here to do it for them. I knew what it felt like to have my protector abandon me, and I would never allow that to happen to them.

this is going to be devastating 💔 i just know i'll never be same after this book

“There,” she said with an approving nod, admiring her bright- pink bag on my shoulder. “That should do it.”
“Should do what?”
“Warn the other girls away.”
“Did you just mark me with your bag?”
“I sure did,” she replied, smiling sweetly up at me. “Now, let’s go, baby.”

Their meet cute is just so freaking adorable 🥹

my teenage wife? my young wife??????? wtf!!?!?!?!?

“That’s twenty- one years of loving you. 252 months, 1,095 weeks, 7,665 days, 183,960 hours and 11,037,600 minutes where I have loved you and if that can translate into anything, please let it speak to the depth of my commitment to you, Parks, because it’s yours.”

Baxter James Ballentine you are a poet 💘

“Loving you is the thing I grab first when the house is on fire, and the house has been on fire before, and it might even catch on fire again. I really hope not, but if it does— how much I love you will forever and ever be the first thing I reach for.”

Their wedding vows are everything 🥺❤️

“I wish I could tell you all the ways that I tell you I love you without telling you that I love you, but I don’t know what they are— Because I think at this point all of me is a big fucking ode to just loving you— But in case that’s not good enough, can I maybe just tell you to your face forever that I love you.”

I love him your honor 🧎🏽‍♀️😩💘🦋✨️🤌🏻

it's december 3rd again 🥲💔

She’s the only home I’ve ever been interested in having. Her body is the walls, heart’s the ceiling. I’ll live here forever.

i am obsessed with bj and the way he thinks about magnolia 🫠

But you see, the thing about stars is that in another galaxy, that star is also a sun.
“If it wasn’t him, it would be you,” I tell him, for better and for worse.
He blows some more air out of his mouth and catches my eye.
“In another life, yeah?” I nod and offer him a weak smile.
“I’ll meet you there.”

JULIAN DESERVES BETTER! JESSA WHEN I CATCH U 🤺

He lets out my favourite laugh that feels like a cup of tea on a rainy day, and his face looks the kind of happy I always want it to with a smile that touches his eyes.

I missed them so freaking much 🥺

First edition of The Little Prince, with all the parts that remind me of her highlighted. Bit of a joke because it all reminds me of her. She’s the rose, the thing that tamed me.

why is that the perfect gift ever 🥺😭

“It’s about time you get on your knees for me. I’ve spent the last three years on mine for you.”

Isaiah took boy obsessed trope on another level and I am not even complaining 🧎🏽‍♀️

“I remember every single thing about you, Kenny. In case you haven’t figured it out already, you’re my favorite subject to study.”

This man 🤌🏻🦋💘✨️😭

“Rhodes,” he says. “Her last name is Rhodes. Now get your fucking hands off my wife.”

you can't hear me but i am screaming! Isaiah Fucking Rhodes 🧎🏽‍♀️

Max waves goodbye at me, then to Kennedy before bringing his chubby little hand to his mouth and blowing a sloppy kiss her way.
“Oh, come on!” I protest. “I’m right here, man!”

Not a fan of kids in real life but Max is giving me a serious baby fever 🥺

“She was cute.”
“She’s not you.”

🫠🦋

“The way you look in that dress . . .” I shake my head in disbelief. “You look like you’re going to say something a little bit evil, break my heart, and I’ll end up thanking you for it.”

Isaiah Rhodes is the definition of boy obsessed trope 😮‍💨🤌🏻
