Favorite Books I Read in 2023
Carrie Soto is Back (Taylor Jenkins Reid)
"We live in a world where exceptional women have to sit around waiting for mediocre men."
Happy Place (Emily Henry)
"Our love is a place we can always come back to and it will be waiting, the same as it ever was."
The Summer I Turned Pretty (Jenny Han)
"This moment between us, fragile and tenuous, snapped in half. It was over. It would do no good to wonder what he was going to say. Moments, when lost, can't be found again. They're just gone."
Unlucky Like Us (Krista and Becca Ritchie)
"My heart is a chasm of everything I know and love, and it will always be filled with you."
Fourth Wing (Rebecca Yarros)
"One does not live a century without being well aware of the space one takes up."
Fall of Ruin and Wrath (Jennifer L. Armentrout)
"It was still there, like a shadow in the back of my mind. That I should be out there. With him. Where I belonged."
A Fire in the Flesh (Jennifer L. Armentrout)
"But every day, there is a choice to keep going, to face the future head-on or not. Every day, there is a choice to be honest with yourself or to lie. One will be the hardest thing you've ever done, and the other the easiest, but there is always the opportunity for choice if you don't take the easiest path."
Iron Flame (Rebecca Yarros)
"Because love, at its root, is hope. Hope for tomorrow. Hope for what could be. Hope that the someone you've entrusted your everything to will cradle and protect it. And hope? That shit is harder to kill than a dream."

I don’t think I’ll ever share the love lilo has for one another with anyone, but at least I lived and felt it through them❤️

One couple I absolutely can NOT wait for is Winona and Jesse. Like I'm in so much excited anticipation of what they could be or who they are. It looks to be kinda like a Connor/Rose situation with their outward personalities, but separately I can see them both being much more calm and collected and I can't wait for them. I also hope she takes him to coast rica like sulli took banks and akara.
I'm also so excited for Audrey's story, whoever it may be with, because I'm so tired of the youngest cobalt getting slighted by her siblings. Like I think theirs going to come a point where she just stops caring what they think, because they were always excluding her/not keeping her updated. They all kept so much from her and I can see that backfiring in the future. Especially on top of insecurities about the Santa video.
Ugh these books are so goodddd

minor nlu spoilers! you've been warned! (nothing to serious, it's just a conversation between Loren and donnelly but no major spoilers!! so if you peak you'll be fine I promise!)
lo comforting donnelly during the superbowl get together scene is the peak of character development and you cannot change my mind. we went from lo being a alcoholic who (especially in addicted to you) was a complete asshole and said the worse things just to hurt people for the hell of it to now (nobody like us) he is sitting comforting his daughters boyfriend (who he could hate and have valid reasons to hate him) but instead reassuring him that nothing that happened to luna in misfits like us was his fault. getting angry and even protective (at least that's what I am getting from it) over donnelly's situation growing up and his father being the way he is.
like he uses his experience to comfort donnelly and if you've read all the books in the addicted series you know that man was going through hell and back when it came to his feelings and relationship with his father. he comforted donnelly the same way he comforted garrison in skop and bad rep duet when he found out his brothers were hurting him and his parents didn't care enough to step in and acknowledge the real issue. him telling donnelly 'why are you expecting so damn much from yourself' 'youre doing your best. it's enough' and 'she's not in pain. she's the happiest I've seen her in a long time'
LIKE LOREAN MOTHER FUCKING HALE SAYING THOSE THINGS TO SOMEONE, THOSE THINGS THAT HIM HIMSELF WHEN HE WAS IN HIS 20S FIGHTING ADDICTION AND RELAPSING AND DEALING WITH EVERYTHING KBR PUT HIM THROUGH NEEDED TO HEAR BACK THEN, WHEN HE WAS BLAMING HINSELF FOR LILY'S ADDICTION, WHEN HE ENDED UP IN THE HOSPITAL BECAUSE HE COULDN'T HANDLE THE RUMORS ABOUT HIS FATHER ANYMKRE THAT HE DRANK A WHOLE BOTTLE OF LIQUOR ANS PASSES OUT ON THE KITCHEN FLOOR, LOREAN MOTHERFUCKING HALE IS SAYING THESE THINGS TO SOMEONE WHO IS SO SIMILAR TO HIM ON SO MANY WAYS YET SO DIFFERENT!!!
him being that comfort for someone is the most beautiful thing to read about and will never fail to make me ugly sob because he was truly made to be a father and knowing that at one point he had that talk with Lily saying they shouldn't have kids?! BEAUTIFUL! COMPELLING! A MASTERPIECE! ART IF YOU ASK ME!! LOREN HALE IS THE FACE OF CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT!
