This book. Literally perfection. Everything unfolded and I feel cathartic.
They all had suffered a lot. I cried, sobbing and throwing up reading this book. Well written magnificently exquisite narrative deserves a big applause! 

“Will you at least look at me when I’m talking to you?”
“Can’t.”
“What?” She sounds startled. “What do you mean you can’t?”
“Can’t look at you.”
She hesitates. “Why not?”
“Too pretty.”
Literally punching the air because of the sudden butterfly. Please I want more of their moments!!

We don’t say I love you, we say…

“I will love you for the rest of my life. My heart is yours. Please don’t ever give it back to me.”

“My love, my beautiful love” 
Juliette/Ella is so lucky, I mean I would die to have the kind of love they have.
Unconditional love.

“And I realize then, in a moment that terrifies me, that I want this, forever. I want to spend the rest of my life with her. I want to build a future with her. I want to grow old with her.
I want to marry her.”
SCREAMING AND SCREAMING AND SCREAMING AND SCREAMING AND AGAIN.
Realisation hits me- you’re not exist.

“Aaron?” I say again, this time softly. “Are you all right?”
He blinks, startled. “Yes,” he says, drawing in a sharp breath. “Yes. Yes, I’m perfect.”
I manage a small smile. “I’m glad you finally agree with me.”
He frowns, confused, and then, as realization hits—
He blushes.”
MOMMM I WANT AN AARON!! (crying in the deep of my soul)

“What are you doing, love?”
“Just enjoying the view,” I say, still staring at his mouth. 
Enough for today, get a life.
