I'm surprised I can still see after how much I rolled my eyes while reading this book. So ridiculous! IF YOU ARE IN MOBILE, BE CAREFUL, THERE WERE MAJOR SPOILERS BELOW. I HAVE THEM BEHIND TAGS BUT IT DOESN'T ALWAYS SHOW ON THE APP. (view spoiler)[This guy has a one night stand with a woman he didn't know. She shows up months later with a baby. He finds out the baby isn't his but still decided to keep it because why??? Nothing explains why this guy would be attached to a random baby. He's not a family guy, has no younger relatives, and doesn't even have the means to support a kid. It makes zero sense. Why in the world he would want to be in the book for taking care of that baby, I have no idea!? (hide spoiler)] Also there is no chemistry between the two main characters.
4.5 when sawyer was described as a blonde-haired man my mind went straight to warner from shatter me series so uhm,,, if there’s a blonde-haired man ur automatically hot for me,,, well unless he’s a jerk and not the endearing kind u know,,, he seems to be the former at first,,, but turns out 🤯 anyway im babbling lol usually im not into the dad trope u know but uhmm he’s a young (loving) dad, a hardworking law student and has a photographic memory??? Uhm??? sign me up ✈️✈️✈️ oh man let me not forget about darlene mygoodness!!! What a lady!!! She’s a “tornado” :(((( love her for that she’s so kind and loving and she’s just so beautiful inside and out EMEGES THE PLOT TWIST AAAAAAAH MY HEART FRICKIN JUMPED OUT OF ME AND CAME BACK BEATING AGAIN THANK GOD ++ -sawyer has this soft soft heart :(((((( -darlene is just a ball of sunshine i love her -olivia is such a smart and cute baby uwu -bromance of sawyer & jackson awww :((( -friendship of darlene and max was wicndoxnsn im so happy for them y’all they deserve to be happy :(((
"back to life" by zayn - this is literally darlene and sawyer's song "she's always on my side. and if I lose the fight. i know she'll bring me back. bring me back to life" If I could have just one moment, one feeling, and live in it forever, I would choose this one.” darlene was drowning. sawyer was drowning. they both found life in each other. found family in each other <3 AHH LOVE IT anyways, single dad trope, grumpy lawyer neighbor x sunshine dancer!! PARALLEL!!! "in the past, I’ve done all the giving. I’m the one who holds on and they don’t.” -> "hold on to me and I'll hold on to you just as tightly" said sawyer !!! I DIED -> the book ends with "and we held on to her—and each other—just as tightly." AHHHH BRB CRYING AT 3AM "like a song stuck in my head, played over and over, except I didn’t want it to stop." this line made me think of "love you like a love song" by selena gomez "Telling you not to love is like depriving a flower of sunlight." "You deserve to be loved as you are, Darlene. Not in bits and pieces.” “Do you ever wish you could take a moment and keep it forever? "That being with the people who love you isn’t weak. It’s how you stay strong." “Forgetting is pretending it never happened,” Max said. “You need to remember and remember and remember, until it has no power over you anymore. Someday, I’m going to walk up to that lamppost and all of the memories will still be there, but they’ll be a part of who I am. Instead of having a shitty day, I’ll smile and think of how it was a piece of my past, but not the sum of it.” “Are you holding on because you love them, or holding on because the alternative is being alone?” “Everyone is worthy of love,” Max said. “But it starts with loving yourself first. That sounds like cheesy, clichéd shit, but it’s true. You have to know you can be good for someone else. Not just to fill up that hole in yourself, but to give.” "his love; not something my lonely heart had manufactured to hold on to,"
AN AMAZING BOOK Love, friendships, family, struggles,reality and best of all inner strength It’s all in there Beautifully written
