Jackson + Willa

Did I love Jackson more than Logan? Idk I think so.

Willa kinda agitated me at first... like I get he forgot but being drunk and high ain’t a good combination to a perfect memory, but once she explained how hurt she was I liked her. What made me LOVE Willa was how she fought for Jackson. I’ve read hundreds of books in which the man fought for the woman cause that’s just how it goes but Willa fought with Jackson for Jackson and I loved her for it.

Highlights from the book:

“Craftsman Boat For Sale. Like New. $9,000.
Girlfriend Pregnant. Wife Pissed. Need Cash for Lawyer.” (😂 funniest part)

“Do you ever think about finding your mom?”
“No,” I said immediately. “She’s dead to me.”
“Okay.” Just like before, I waited. But she said nothing.
“That’s it?”
She giggled again. “Yeah. That’s it.”
“You’re not going to try and convince me otherwise? Both Thea and Hazel think it would be good to find out where she’d disappeared to all those years ago. They think it will give me closure.”
“If she’s dead to you, then she’s dead to me. That’s it.”

“I’m losing him,” I whispered. “He’s just . . . drifting away.”
Dad reached across the table to place his hand over mine. “Then pull him back.”

“She was my courageous champion. My warrior. My lover. My friend.
My everything.
Willa was the one.”

“It’s easy to love someone when times are good. Real love is about holding on to one another when times aren’t.”
