”i haven’t done a single thing in my life to deserve you, schnecke, but i will never give up on you, and i won’t let you give up on me.”


guys i think i have a crush on this book.

omg ive finally made a good decision for once in my life by picking up this book exactly when i needed it.

was this book perfect?? absolutely not. but it was perfect to me and thats all that matters. im gonna forgive its flaws i love her enough for it i don’t wanna hear any slander.

anyone that knows me knows the repetition in mz’s books drives me CRAZY. her quirky writing is too much for me most times but the fact that i could overlook it in this book says so much.

the way i DEVOURED this book is not even funny. pls i could not put this book down. i read it in one sitting. who would’ve thunk it because not me!?

list of things it did to me:

➢ obliterated me.
➢ restored my will to live.
➢ brought me back to life.
➢ made me see hearts on the pages.
➢ made me believe in love again.

they are what dreams are made of im convinced of it.

”i had this one life, and if i didn’t make the best of it, then what was the point?”

sal - i loved her. she was a lil weirdo and i loved it all. i related with her connecting to her dad over their love of soccer because growing up, watching soccer games was one of those few things that united my family and i. her and her dad’s relationship was absolutely precious.

and omg the way my girl had a backbone i was so obsessed. i was scared she would be a doormat but this girl wouldn’t back down for anyone. she also knows when to shut up when she needs to. she’s just smart like that.
the way she always tells sal off about himself has me screaming words of praise for her. whenever hes being a dickhead to her or anyone else she be side eyeing him and telling him to relax and check himself. as she fucking should.

her love for her family, her friends, and her sport was beautiful, spectacular, phenomenal.

”i am the man that i am, and i have done the things that i’ve done, to get me to you.”

kulti - men that dont speak >>>>. do i need to say anything else?? they will ALWAYS win. his actions spoke way louder than any words ever needed to.
he was a little bitch at the start but its okay because he learned from his mistakes and slowly started opening up. i loved seeing his growth it was so natural and well done. the way he always pushed sal to not take shit lying down and wouldn’t hesitate to tell her what she should’ve done instead but still support her every move??? he had me smiling and giggling with every little step he took closer to sal gahhhshshsh.

he offered to pay her a thousand dollars to drive him home. imagine getting paid what you deserve? this man is sexy as fuck.

”i saw so much of me in you at first, but you aren’t like me at all. you’re you, and i will go to my grave before i let anyone change any part of you.”

”you are my best friend, my love, my playmate and my teammate. you’ll have a team with me wherever we are, with whatever we are playing.”

kultisal - THEYRE SO PERFECT. the way they became friends and started teasing each other and letting themselves unwind with each other was everything. their banter had me giggling. when he first started calling her ‘schnecke’ i searched it up and was like okkk its so them what cuties. but when he explained what it meant at the end?? I WAS ON MY KNEES. I ATE UP ALL THEIR SMALL MOMENTS. the slow burn was deliciousssnessss YUM.

➣ them watching the movie in bed on his tablet? heart palpitations.
➣ him calling her his best friend? swoon
➣ him pressing their foreheads together and wiping away her tears? trembling.
➣ her telling him she was stressed then him coming over later, doing face masks with her and massaging her feet? i have exited the planet.

the tension between them was intoxicating.

if you’re an acts of service / quality time girlie this is the book for you.

anyways wow mz blew me away with kulti. never thought i’d love any of her books but im so happy to be proven wrong. this book gave me all the laughter and happiness i needed right now <3

”there are no gray areas for me where you’re concerned.”
