celia just died, and i just can't help myself, like jeezzz this is the fifth time i am crying
"“SCREEN QUEEN CELIA ST. JAMES HAS DIED”

how easy it is to just mention someone die, but its way more profound the pain of the lost, a soul left the earth, and she wasn’t just Cecilia James, she was someone’s love, someone’s peace, someone’s healing balm

i don't wanna stop crying cuz its just so painful

i love this book so muchhhh

like i am in TOTAL LOVE with the characters, and they deserve the world <33333

GOSH IM CRYING SO UGLY READING THIS

I CAN'T IT

THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL

“In the pursuit of a great cause, I think people can be of service in a number of different ways. I always felt that my way was to make a lot of money and then channel it to the groups that needed it. ”

yess

“And I started crying when I realized those men were willing to fight for a dream I had never even allowed myself to envision.”

“But no medium can capture what it is to be in someone’s presence, certainly not someone like her. Someone who makes you feel important simply because she’s choosing to look at you."

gosh Celia has so much power over Evelyn, the confidence goddess is getting nervous...simply, WOW

“I think I welcomed the excuse not to go back to my own life for a little while. Being wrapped up in digesting Evelyn’s story means I don’t have to exist in my own.”
isn't this why we all read books? its so beautifully described 🥺

“Harry, I’m cynical and I’m bossy, and most people would consider me vaguely immoral.”
“You’re strong and resilient and talented. You’re exceptional inside and out.”

and that's the beauty of this imperfectly perfect match

“Did I want to make as much money as Don? Of course I did. I wanted to get the paycheck and mail a copy of it to him with a photo of my middle finger. But mostly I wanted the freedom to do whatever I wanted."

the most savage, raw and beautiful character Evelyn 😩
