"i want to carve out a piece of the city and its magic, just for us. but carving turns you into a knife. cold, hard, sharp, at least on the outside. inside, my chest feels bruised, tender." (ch 20)

"because this wanting, it feels good, like a bruise you need to press on, as a reminder that there are things in life so valuable that you must risk the pain of losing them for the joy of briefly having them." (ch 34)


genuinely the first time a cishet romance has made me full-body sob. endearing and funny and romantic and sweet and charming. felt like falling into the comfort of a movie like when harry met sally, but more bookish. enjoyable the whole way through.
