“It didn’t matter what I believed, it mattered that you were safe.” 

Forget what star sign you are I wanna know which hidden gifts character you’re most like. Personally I think I’m a chaotic mix of Maeve & Fiona.

The first book is my absolute baby I love it so much it’s real life magic <3 But I thoroughly enjoyed this one too - hilarious & continuing with some super interesting discussions that just aren’t found anywhere else in YA. I truly think this series is such a terrific standout in the genre & hopefully a bit of a watershed moment. 

Quotes hitting a bit too close to home 🙃 
“She wants people to know she has flaws but she can’t stand owning up to what they are.” 

“There’s actually no difference between being perfect and being desperate to please.”
