"This was our room, it was home, and even there in the thick silence that would last till morning, like the silence of reading or reading about people who love and must part, I thought it perfect"

This book is so gorgeous, on a sentence level especially "He half woke, called me baby and reached his hand behind and draped it across my thigh. His skin was warm and I fell in step with his long breaths and ran a nail up along his neck into his hairline and he let out a little sigh. I kissed his back and it tasted cool, breeze-dried sweat. Coal charred from the night's long burn hung in the room and I slept."

"I felt I wanted to cry suddenly to someone not there. That 'us' years before, when we were still young"

"They fade, memories, even good ones, the ones we want. I'd practice my favourites, learned as if by rote. But no matter, you end up with memories of memories, you get tar from coal, not diamonds. I sat outside of things. Time, quick as a drumroll, flew past. Then I was sixteen. Then I was seventeen"
Could've kissed the brick before you threw it at me maybe!? ( - 17 year old Abigail)

"Never ever mistake what is beautiful for beauty- I read that somewhere, not understanding at the time"
