  • “Sounds like the guy you’re not worried about didn’t grow up with any kind of emotional support to show him what it’s like to be a real man in a real relationship…a guy like that might think the only way he can keep something safe is by keeping his distance” - Joel about Lucian (page 414 things we left behind)
  • “The only think I liked more than a closed library was an open one. Surrounded by all those books, all those worlds waiting to be explored on the page. The ASMR-like buzz of whispers, keyboards, and turning pages. But I usually enjoyed the after-hours silence almost as much. “ - Sloane (page 458 things we left behind)

I really loved this book and would recommend it to those who enjoy romance and mystery along with the rest of the series. 

I gave it 4 stars because it really makes you think and try to solve the mystery and connect all the pieces, which I thoroughly enjoy. It’s not getting 5 stars just because it didn’t fully capture my attention like that. I love the character Lucian and want to be him. I have a hard time picturing sloane for some reason but I still love her as well!
