➳ 4 ☆! 🌿🪡

ive spent my whole life wishing to be wanted. and here he is, begging me to let him. ✮⋆˙

🎧 - new year's day
ᯓᡣ𐭩 hold on to the memories
they will hold on to you.


➳ can you hear me sobbing in the background?! please, if you haven't already go read this!! im so glad i finally got to, and if you enjoyed 'powerless' at all this is a MUST. probably one of my favorite novellas ive ever read, and i didn't want it to end! this book made me even more excited for 'reckless' in 2 weeks and i have HOPES for that one!

˗ˏˋ꒰ overall experience꒱ super fast paced, i think the writing in here definitely improved! and can we give an applaud for the banter EEEE has me giggling and swooning! i also like how we go the perspective of adena AND mak, i love them both so much. but that ending wrecked me, yet again !! all that being said, go read this and prepare for reckless! 💌

˗ˏˋ꒰ adena + mak꒱AWW my little cuties i love them sm <3 mak had dry humor and i couldnt stop laughing with his quick remarks and sarcasm. and my little angel adena, UGH i love her sm, she is a certified yapper, and i LOVE THAT!! and maks backstory?! i wanted to sob. i think the story was heartwarmingwrenching but anyway! i cant wait to see what is in store for mak and i have theories. also im still in denial for everything so! i have never read a couple that could relate to one line in the song 'cardigan' more than they can 🤧 also adena is such a mirrorball <3

cardigan
ᯓᡣ𐭩you drew stars around my scars
but now im bleeding


labrinyth
ᯓᡣ𐭩"it only hurts this much right now"
was what i was thinkin' the whole time
uh-oh, i'm fallin' in love

enjoy these quotes 🫶

“if darkness is the absence of light, then that is what I am when she is not around. And I wonder how I’ve stumbled this long without her to guide me.”

“shh.” I run a hand down the length of her curls, feeling a hiccup jostle her body. “You did the right thing. Run to me. Always run to me.”

“you make even the stars envious,” I repeat softly, leaning toward her. “Because one day—far from now—you will be up there beside them, outshining every single one.”

🪩🫶🪡🌿


preview! 🪡
its about time i picked this up, so i excited to see, my love, adena, i love her saur much <3 ANDD to prepare for reckless! i have high hopes for that one and im so scared but this looks like the perfect palette cleanser ahh!
