Beach Read- Emily Henry

“I’ve always admired that. The way your writing always make the world seem brighter, and the people in it a little braver”

“When I watch you sleep, I feel overwhelmed that you exist. What if we don’t get a happy ending, Gus? Then maybe we should enjoy our Happy For Now.”

“You can take my life, you can take my freedom, but you’ll never take this goddamn yearbook from me, Gus.”

“January Andrews, a year ago I met you for the second time, and it’s changed my life. I don’t care how it ends, as long as I spend it all with you.”

Terms and Conditions- Lauren Asher

“I’m failing to see how that’s the case. Would you like me to schedule you an eye exam? I hear vision gets worse with age.”

“I did everything in my power to protect Cal and Rowan, even if it meant taking my father on by myself.”

“I only manage a single step before Iris’s fist flies, slamming straight into my father’s jaw.”

“Since when do you care about making people happy? I couldn’t care less about anyone else’s happiness besides your own.”

“I will always love you. Today. Tomorrow. Forever.”

“Because we’re in love like that.”

Flawless- Elsie Silver

“Please, Summer. Make my day. Tell me he’s in timeout. Tell me he’s a thirty-two-year-old man with a full-time nanny.”

“Rhett, you forgot your warm milk. No, no, no. He’s coming up here because he wants the White Russian instead. You guys are fucking losers.”

“It’s more like Ebenezer Scrooge, Captain America, and I’m the cool guy from Tombstone who can twirl his guns really well. More like Fabio with all that fucking hair.”

“I love your freckles, they remind me of all the constellations. Like I could draw lines between them, and pictures would appear.”

“I’m against hitting women myself, but I fully support you decking your sister.”

“Say it. I want to hear it. I love you. I love you too. And I don’t need to ride tonight. Or ever again. Hearing that from your lips is the biggest win of my life.”

“And everything about the moment is flawless.”

Bloodbath- Molly Doyle

“In their eyes, she’s just a directive. But in mine, she is the moon, the stars, sunlight, and oxygen all in one. I find shelter, warmth, and serenity in her arms. She is my turning point. My home. My obsession. Hell, she is everything. Living without her is not an option.”

“You told me I have your heart. Well, you have mine. You have all of me. Please let me say it. Let me tell you how I feel. You deserve love. Let me give it to you.”

“Everything that has happened in my life has led up to this moment. Every choice, every mishap, good and bad. I wouldn’t change a single thing, even the worst of it. Because at the end of the day, I was led to Quinn. She is my past, my present, and my future. I’ve never loved anything more.”

“I didn’t think I could feel this way. I didn’t know I was capable of loving someone. You are my whole fucking world. I refuse to ever walk through life without you. I vowed to protect you. To keep you safe. But I failed you. I fucking failed you, Quinn. I’m so sorry I failed you. I’m so sorry I kept you in the dark. You didn’t belong there. Especially not when you’ve only ever been my light.

“They’re teaching me to love and accept myself. Because this is who the fuck I am. And no matter what I’ve been trained to believe by my father, I’m enough.

Little Stranger- Leigh Rivers

“Please choose me. Nobody ever chooses me.”

“No. You were mine when we were kids, and you’re mine now. You’ll always be mine”

“He’s my forever. My heaven and hell.”

“The only girl I’ve ever imagined giving my heart to. It might be a little black and a little jagged around the edges and my mind might be a little wild, but she owns them. Olivia owns my mind, body, and soul.“

“You’re mine, Malachi. You’re mine, and I’m yours, and I love you more than words can explain. Please forgive me. Please. I want you. I want to be with you, build a life with you, and make memories with you.

“I want everything you have to give. All of it. Everything. Because I choose you.”

For The Fans- Nyla K.

“I’m in love with an angel. And not the kind with wings and a halo. A human with a heart bigger than a football field. An angel with talent that knows no bounds, who doesn’t conform to societal norms, because those are for suckers. Who believes in aliens and cryptids… Conspiracy theories? My angel knows them all, and will tell you just how misguided your truths are. I’m in love with an angel who is gorgeous and sexy, and has a body that’ll make you weep… And funnily enough, it’s made up almost entirely of sugar. I’m in love with an angel who uses Twizzlers as straws and gives gummy bears names. Oh, hello, Bob. Nice to eat you today. I’m in love with an angel who never stopped believing in me… Even after every bad thing I ever did to him. An angel I used to say hurtful things to, but who still spoke words of encouragement to me when I needed it… Who was there for me when no one else was. An angel who told me it’s not over until it’s over. Because it’s not. I promise, it’s not. My angel was the last person I thought I could love… But I came back to him, over and over, because my heart wanted him when I didn’t understand why. And now I do understand it. It’s as clear as the crystalline grayish blue in his eyes. My angel saved me. He rescued me from hiding. He held me when I needed him, and he loved me when I didn’t. He’s selfless, real… just a brilliant, beautiful fucking weirdo. I’m in love with an angel… And his name is Avi.”

“Tell me…” His voice trails off, and he gulps. I peer down at him, and his cheeks are all manners of flushed. “Tell you what?” He swallows visibly again, whispering, “Tell me you think I’m beautiful”

“I like proving people wrong, and we all know how much I adore being different. So when the haters expect me to whip off my shirt and reveal a scrawny torso scattered with careless ink, but they instead find me ripped as hell, draped in intricate, artistic tattoos… I can’t help but feel smug.”

“But I love it. I don’t even care, I’m in fucking love with it, because I’m in love with him, and fuck, I can’t believe I ever thought I could stop it from happening.”

“We have the fascinating ability to come to terms with the drastic changes of life. We modify, alter, and adjust…”
