❝as i carried home the flower, i carried you into the very core of my soul,❞ he said softly, his hands resting over my clasped ones. 

my review for this book will always, always be biased because i have been reading this book every year for the past nine years. there is something about sebastian vice and cassandra cartwright that pulls me in. i absolutely condone toxic mmcs but this is a guilty pleasure. 

one of the most beautifully ugly love stories ever. in sebastian vice’s words, ❝because the best love stories are never merely written—they are lived.❞

some of my favourite quotes from the book, mainly sebastian vice’s :


★ ❝if i’m going down, i might as well pick my poison. i pick you.❞

★ ❝there’s this hollow ache inside me that’s eating me alive and i want to fill it. i want to fill it with the scent and taste and heat of you. i want you to fill all of my senses so that there’d be no room for anything else. i want to lose myself in you so much i’m afraid i’ll forget to protect you from me, cassandra. i will never forgive myself if that happened. i can’t sell the last of my soul for a piece of yours.❞

★ ❝i don’t consider you my past, cassandra. you’re my start to finish. there’s no before or after you. the only life i’ll live is the one with you in it. you can write a book of rules all you want but you are not telling me how i feel about you.❞

★ ❝my love has made me selfish,❞ he said in a soft, husky voice, quoting keats. ❝i cannot exist without you.❞
