“Twelve Steps to Reunite Soul Mates’—which, by the way, involved multiple Jane Austen quotes. Not sure if that was Libby or Dad. But what I’m getting at is, they made some compelling points.”

Love that!💕

“The learning curve is brutal, but after so many years of knowing exactly how to do my job, the challenge is exhilarating. I comb through each of my newly inherited authors’ manuscripts like an archaeologist at a newly discovered dig site.”

Perfect writing.

“His job. His apartment. Like he’s just handing over the life he’s worked so hard for, wholesale. Giving up the city where he belongs. Where he feels like himself. Where he doesn’t feel wrong or useless.”

I NEED HIS POV

“We’re going to do this right. No shortcuts.”

Period, Charlie!
Slow burn.

Nora’s character is actually upsetting me

“I think we might be good together, Stephens.”

💕

“Another “universal truth” Austen could’ve started Pride and Prejudice with: When you tell yourself not to think about something, it will be all that you can think about.”

I’m glad Jane Austen was acknowledged.

“Also, ‘running’ implies speed. I had to go to community college for a couple years here, work construction with my dad to save up so I could transfer in my junior year.”

New fictional crush.

“I was slightly disappointed when my first serious girlfriend didn’t have three consecutive orgasms, but otherwise okay.”

Hilarious!

“She’s the owner. Also my favorite former substitute teacher. Gave me an Octavia Butler book that changed my life.”

Probably Kindred.
