{My greatest hope is to be in all-consuming love. My biggest fear is to be in all-consuming love}

{Most consider knowing all consuming love a blessing, but I consider it a curse. A curse I’ll never be able to lift. I’ll never know love again as I did here all those years ago. And I don’t want to. I can’t. I’m still sick with it}

{The the fantasies of a masochistic heart are much better than any experience with the real thing}

From the moment I started reading, I related to Cee. It surprised me a bit throughout the book just how much I was relating to her & the things she was feeling. All of the characters were so imperfect & showed in more ways than one how human they were. They had secrets, pasts, fears, & vulnerabilities that they struggled to let us see. That made them perfect to me.
Cecelia Horner ♥︎
Mine & Cees heart, beat to the same drum, I feel like our hearts are one & the same. The way she struggled to love, but fell so deeply for the boys in those few months. Her heart remaining soft & welcoming despite the world & love breaking her down time & time again. She had every reason to turn cold, but there’s beauty & strength in her softness. She loves those boys with all she had in her. I admire that. Reading about her pain, helped me feel less alone.

{if I wasn’t studying the distinctions between them daily, I would sometimes think they are the same person. But in a lot of aspects, they’re night and day, dark cloud and golden sun}

Alfred Sean Roberts ♥︎ {golden sun}
{Somewhere between the time I saw him standing at his car this morning and the few hour we’ve spent on our hike, I’ve let a part of me I’ve kept locked away for years, my romantic heart, begin to hope}
Sean holds the biggest spot on my heart. I will take him & the lessons he taught Cee with me everywhere I go. He really is a sunny day, that golden smile is pure sunshine. The way he was protective, a soft place to land (for me), adventurous, & all around an amazing man. I loved watching him help Cee break out of herself & stop holding herself back. Watching their love unfold gave me some hope.
Dominic ♥︎ {dark cloud}
This man. Being sexy, “mysterious”, “an asshole” on the outside, yet soft on the inside. It took me awhile to like him. To understand him, I was learning him at the same time that Cee was. But now, I honestly love him as well as Sean. His attention to detail, his different way of showing affection. Albeit, his way of communication was frustrating at times- make no mistake, he’s definitely left an imprint on me.
Tyler ♡
I know he’s a side character, but I have an appreciation for Tyler. He was so sweet & willing from the jump. Always smiling, always helping out. I liked reading about his story with Delphine.

Wow okay, it was unlike anything I've ever read for sure, for me, only one scene was VERY spicy, (the float scene
