is the second book of the year actually the best book of the year? when people ask me what love is, I'll show them this book cause what do you mean witis the second book of the year actually the best book of the year? when people ask me what love is, I'll show them this book cause what do you mean with "The best kind of love doesn’t happen on moonlit walks and romantic vacations. It happens in between the folds of everyday life. It’s not grand gestures that show how you feel, it’s all the little secret things you do to make her life better that you never tell her about. Taking the end piece of the bread at breakfast so she can have the last middle piece for her sandwich when you pack her lunch. Making sure her car always has gas so she never has to stop at the pump. Telling her you’re not cold and to take your jacket when you are in fact, very, very cold. It’s watching TV on a rainy Sunday while you’re doing laundry and turning her light off when she’s fallen asleep reading. Sharing pizza crusts and laughing about something the kids did and taking care of each other when you’re sick. It isn’t glamorous, it isn’t all butterflies and stars in your eyes. It’s real. This is the kind of love that forever is made of. Because if it’s this good when life is draining and mundane and hard, think of how wonderful it will be when the love songs are playing and the moon is out."
and "It’s funny how when you find someone you like as much as I liked her, the destination is suddenly wherever they are. Even if there’s someplace better, you wouldn’t go if they couldn’t come."
so yeah i'm gonna read some stories on reddit to see if i find a man like that too xoxo...more

I hate wren. a lot. I don't understand why she had such a hard time telling Miles that she loved him. she's a kiki person and i hate kiki people
ON THE OTHER SIDEEEE I LOVE U MILES YOU DESERVED BETTER (me) we can listen to taylor swift together and i also play hockey (soulmates) isn't that lovely? this book is clearly fiction because in real life there is no girl who could be close to Miles and not fall in love with him. period.
overall it was a really cute book it just had so many filler scenes that by the end it got kinda boring...more

I loved January and found myself feeling very identified with her character. I feel like she was trying to be a kind of placebo to make others satisfied and it makes me happy that she can feel a little more like herself when she is with Gus (and of course w Shadi too)
The subject of death and betrayal that she felt from his father, according to my point of view, is very well treated.
“How much lying and cheating could he have done and still have been a good father?” This line haunted me since before reading this book and explains how the betrayal, even if it’s not towards you, calls into question everything lived with a person.
Now about their relationship i loved EVERYTHING <33 I’m not lying. Even in their rival phase they were very cute and all the banter between these two, is so funny and really witty. Anytime they were just talking i literally burst out laughing. Some lines were a little cheesy but idc I’VE LOVED IT.
I went through all the existing emotions during this book (as you can see it in my activity on this book) and i couldn't put it down once i got halfway, i was never EVER bored. SO if u want something deep and funny and lovely here’s what u are looking for!!!!!!!! (an there were TWO taylor swift references i mean….. what else do u need to read this?)
QUOTES i’ve liked
“but somehow by being a woman who writes about women, I’ve eliminated half the Earth’s population from my potential readers, and you know what? I don’t feel ashamed of that. I feel pissed. That people like you will assume my books couldn’t possibly be worth your time”
“I’d thought missing my dad would be the hardest thing I’d ever do. But the worst thing, the hardest thing, had turned out to be being angry with someone you couldn’t fight it out with.”
“When you love someone,” he said haltingly, “… you want to make this world look different for them. To give all the ugly stuff meaning, and amplify the good. That’s what you do. For me.”
“When I watch you sleep,” he said shakily, “I feel overwhelmed that you exist.”
“And maybe I came because I needed someone to know that I’m sorry too. That I will always miss him too. Maybe I wanted someone to understand I’m a complete person, and not just someone else’s mistake.”
“I’ve never met someone who is so perfectly my favorite person.”...more
