Addicted After All by Krista Ritchie, Becca Ritchie
5.0
Lily and I—we may have started our relationship as pretend. But for as long as I can remember, our love has always been real
Lili and Lo went from two depressed and wounded adults consumed by their addictions to two happy and strong adults who are no longer defined by their struggles. Their growth filled me with so much pride and their hard-fought happy ending brought me immense joy. I was in tears during the last 10% of the book.
These two will always hold a special place in my heart, and I will forever love them.
fav quotes:
The parts of me that I love the most are the parts that belong to her
“Lily Calloway...all this time, your superpower has been loving me.”
There’s something about Lily that makes all the terrible parts of me seem irrelevant. That makes a bad day momentary and a good one infinite.
It’s love like this that’s worth living for.
I fell in love with Lo like a little girl opening her heart to magic.
For the first time, I yearn for tomorrow and cherish yesterday and live for today. It’s peace that no one will take from me.
We have consumed each other from day one. And we truly never let go.
“I can’t tell you the day that I fell in love with you because there wasn’t a single day that I didn’t.” My voice shakes with more joy than I’ve ever known. ”You have the purest parts of my heart, and I’m certain that in every alternate universe, I’m always, always in love with you.”
