leant by jasmine (i can’t annotate it). ”If the object of your desire were within perpetual reach, it would be worthless. You must only ever graze it. A whiff of perfume on a busy street: gone before you knew it was there, and then, you look around in dismay, in ecstasy, thinking: Wait, did something just happen here? You'll spend the rest of your days wanting that feeling back.
Phil wasn't having any of it.”

made up for lost time after sitting in the cinema all day yesterday. read back through my own reviews; how funny that both irish authors i’ve read recently have both mentioned buffy. they’ve both also been compared heavily to sally rooney — as does happen to any irish contemporary lit author — but i think it applies more accurately here. really enjoying this, although it did make me cry twice today.

everyone is stressing me out. buffy mentioned page 129. <3
“…he has no decisive inner voice that says This is the real you, this is what you desire. Ed is blurry, to even himself. His outlines are vague. This is fine except that you need to be solid for other people. To have relationships, to be trusted, you have to say 'This is me, this is what I want’ and act as if that were true at all times.”
