This was actually the PERFECT fluffy contemporary straight romance likeeeee… no notes. I DEVOURED it in 1 day.

As a big sister, it just hit so hard - the way they handled grief was so moving, and how differently they viewed their upbringing. I just love their whole relationship SO MUCH.

I LOVE that she didn’t sacrifice her dream/ New York (where she WANTED to be) for a man/ her sister/ etc.

Charlie was just THE BESTTTTT. I love a man down bad!!! Here’s several reasons why:

“Thank you, Sissy.” She murmurs, “thank you”.
“Anything for you” I tell her.
Over her shoulder, I lock eyes with Charlie.
Thank you, I mouth.
His chin dips, as he smiles. Anything for you, he mouths.

“If I had to pick one person to be in my corner, it’d be you. Every time.” 

“You fucking undo me.”

“I love you, Nora. I think I love everything about you.”

“You’re a fighter,” he says. “When you care about something, you won’t let anything fucking touch it. I’ve never met anyone who cares as much as you do. Do you know what most people would give to have someone like that in their life?”

“I’ll take you home whenever you want,” he says. “But if you want to stay, and you wake up screaming, it’s okay. I’ll make sure you’re okay. And if you want to stay, and then change your mind, I don’t mind driving you back at four a.m.”

“Of course I have a checklist." His eyes glint in the dark. "What am I, an animal?”

“For what it’s worth, I doubt I will ever like anyone else in the world as much as I like you.”

“Just because not everyone gets you doesn’t mean you’re wrong.”

Why did it take the entire book for it to be ok that a woman likes to work.

A very predictable, yet super sweet book! Once the “twist” was shown, it was easy to guess every detail that was gonna happen next. But by the end you are absolutely swept up in Charlie and I would have it no other way!
