I can't do it anymore ... The way you consume my mind when we aren't together? I don't have time for it anymore. I've got more important things to think about now than your little weak moments -- Colleen Hoover
Seeing him this close to me brings back every single feeling I've ever felt for this boy ... the good and the bad. -- Colleen Hoover
I'm Breckin," he says. "I'm in an alliance to overtake the public school system and all its minions with your daughter. -- Colleen Hoover
We only get so many years to live it, so we have to do everything we can to make sure those years are as full as they can be. We shouldn't waste time on things that might happen someday, or maybe even never. I -- Colleen Hoover
The only difference between falling in love and being in love is that your heart already knows how you feel, but your mind is too stubborn to admit it. -- Colleen Hoover
And once again in my new world full of heartache and lies, this hopeless boy somehow finds a way to make me smile. -- Colleen Hoover
The thing about dancing is that no matter how good it feels when you're doing it, it's always extremely awkward when it's over. - Owen Gentry -- Colleen Hoover
Speaking of ... does this mean you get your phone back?" I shrug. "I don't really want that phone back. I'm hoping my whipped boyfriend will get me an iPhone for Christmas. -- Colleen Hoover
Live. If you mix the letters up in the words like and love, you get live. -- Colleen Hoover
Ridge: Better. I can't hear my own farts, so sometimes I'll forget that other people can hear them. -- Colleen Hoover
I didn't mean to scare you. I'm not suicidal if that's what's freaking you out. I'm not fucked up in the head. I'm not deranged. I'm not suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. I'm just a brother who loved his sister more than life itself, so I get a little intense when I think about her. -- Colleen Hoover
What rules?"
"Well, for one, I'm not allowed to break your heart," he says. "Second, I'm also not allowed to break your damn heart. And last, I'm not allowed to fucking break your damn heart. -- Colleen Hoover
I love you so much, baby. I don't deserve to touch you until you know for a fact that I'm touching you because I love you and for no other reason. -- Colleen Hoover
Beat, beat, pause. Beat, beat, pause. It's absolutely beautiful. The way it sounds is beautiful. The way it cares is beautiful. The way it loves is beautiful. He -- Colleen Hoover
I'm scared I'll never feel this again with anyone else," I whisper.
He squeezes my hands. "I'm scared you will. -- Colleen Hoover
So that when I finally break, it won't be his fault -- Colleen Hoover
And it appears as though she's afraid I'll alter her canvas if she allows me too close. -- Colleen Hoover
Time has completely stopped, and all I'm thinking about while we kiss is how this is what saves people. Moments like these with people like her are what make all the sufferings worth it. -- Colleen Hoover
Ridge: Oh, and btw, I didn't write that on your forehead.
What? I run to the dresser and look in the mirror for the first time today. Written across my forehead in black ink, it says: Someone wrote on your forehead. -- Colleen Hoover
There are moments in every relationship that define when two people start to fall in love.
A first glance
A first smile
A first kiss
A first fall ... -- Colleen Hoover
If I can't even accurately judge the people closest to me, then I can't trust anyone. Ever. I hate them for taking that away from me. Now, no matter who comes into my life after this, I'll always be skeptical. -- Colleen Hoover
I'm serious. You've been doing so much thinking with your head that you're ignoring your heart completely. There has to be a balance. The fact that both of you are letting other things consume you is about to ruin any chance you'll ever have at being happy. -- Colleen Hoover
Please don't worry about me. My suffering is over. In the wise words of Dylan Thomas ... After the first death, there is no other. -- Colleen Hoover
I love you, even when i shouldn't -- Colleen Hoover
If you were a game, Silas, you'd be Monopoly. You just go on and on and everyone ends up cheating just to be over with it. -- Colleen Hoover
I don't want you running anymore, Sky. What would have happened if you would have been by yourself? You run too much, -- Colleen Hoover
You're very charismatic," she says.
Jesus. Her voice completely slays me. "Thanks. You're pretty cute yourself. -- Colleen Hoover
I've done nothing for the past five years but try to be the hero who protects her. The problem? Heroines don't need protecting. -- Colleen Hoover
You warned me. You said one time with you wouldn't be enough. You said you were like a drug. But you failed to tell me you were the most addictive kind. -- Colleen Hoover
Miles," I say with a smile, "you're looking at me like you fell in love with me." He shakes his head. "I didn't fall in love with you, Tate. I flew." He -- Colleen Hoover
Never never, Charlie," I whisper. -- Colleen Hoover
Before, when I looked at her, she was just the girl who as experiencing this weird phenomenon with me. Now when I look at her, she's the girl I've apparently made love to for a while. The girl I apparently still love. I just wish I could remember what it's supposed to feel like. -- Colleen Hoover
My mother has always had an ability to deliver an entire lecture with a single glance. I get the glance. -- Colleen Hoover
He smiles and waves a hand in that direction, and we both begin walking. But if I were asking to spend the night . . . -- Colleen Hoover
I fucking loved that girl, Sky. I need to believe that what she did was the only answer she had left, because if I don't, then I'll never forgive myself for not helping her find a different one. -- Colleen Hoover
Love isn't always pretty. Sometimes you spend all your time hoping it'll eventually be something different. Something better. Then, before you know it, you're back to square one, and you lost your heart somewhere along the way. -- Colleen Hoover
Love isn't always pretty, Tate. Sometimes you spend all your time hoping it'll eventually be something different. Something better. Then, before you know it, you're back to square one, and you lost you heart somewhere along the way -- Colleen Hoover
I think about all the people I wish could die instead of you. -- Colleen Hoover
I barely know the guy, yet somehow I can feel that familiar clench of a fist gripping at my heart. I have to see him one more time, even if it's just to say good-bye. -- Colleen Hoover
I'm not giving up You're not giving in This battle will turn into a war Before I let it come to an end. -- Colleen Hoover
Great. I'm crying now. I'm a purseless, crying, violent, homeless girl. And as much as I don't want to admit it, I think I might also be heartbroken. -- Colleen Hoover
I think maybe she'll realize how fucked up her priorities are, because she's my passion. The book was just an excuse. -- Colleen Hoover
I keep waiting for the day when it will hurt less. When I won't miss him as much -- Colleen Hoover
Sometimes the spirit of a man isn't strong enough to survive the ghosts of his past -- Colleen Hoover
Love him. I still do and I always will. He was a huge wave that left a lot of imprints on my life, and I'll feel the weight of that love until I die. I've accepted that. -- Colleen Hoover
He kisses me like he's giving me every kiss he wishes he could have given me the past, and every kiss he'll wish he could give me in the future.
All at once. -- Colleen Hoover
I laugh, relieved that she's... that she simply exists. And that we were lucky enough to exist in the same lifetime, in the same area of the world, in the same state. -- Colleen Hoover
If I were a carpenter, I would build you a window to my soul. But I would leave that window shut and locked, so that every time you tried to look through it all you would see is your own reflection. You would see that my soul is a reflection of you. -- Colleen Hoover
She's trying to change the subject, even though we weren't speaking out loud. -- Colleen Hoover
He stops pacing and turns toward me. You won't wait for me. I won't let you give up what should be the best year of your life. I had to grow up way too fast; I'm not taking that away from you, too. It wouldn't be fair. I don't want you to wait for me, Layken. -- Colleen Hoover
Do me a favor?
Anything. I'll do anything you ask me to, so long as you're shirtless. -- Colleen Hoover
My once effervescent world was suddenly a blurred, gray, colorless photocopy. - Dean Holder -- Colleen Hoover
I know my mouth is agape and my eyes are wide, but I'm relieved that hope isn't a tangible thing, because everyone around me would see mine crumbling. -- Colleen Hoover
I grab the pillows off the bed and chuck them at the reflection in the mirror of the girl I no longer know. I watch as the girl in the mirror stares back at me, sobbing pathetically. The weakness in her tears infuriates me. -- Colleen Hoover
She deserves so much better than what I can give her. I don't, however, think she deserves better than me. I think she would be perfect for me and I would be perfect for her, but all the bad choices I've made in my life are what she doesn't deserve to be a part of. -- Colleen Hoover
Devastated should be reserved for mothers -- Colleen Hoover
It's strange how money seems to silence a neighborhood," I say quietly. "On my street, where no one has money, it's so loud. Sirens blaring, people shouting, car doors slamming, stereos thumping. There's always someone, somewhere, making noise. -- Colleen Hoover
You bend the laws of the universe when you fly," I say. "It's impressive. Defying gravity? Watching sunrises and sunsets from places Mother Nature didn't intend for you to watch them from? You really are superheroes, if you think about it. -- Colleen Hoover
Get out, Get out, get out, get out! I do what any sane male would do in this situation; I run down the hall and lock myself in her bedroom. -- Colleen Hoover
He catches me staring at him when he turns to reach for his other shirt. I do that thing where I quickly glance away and make it completely obvious that I was staring, since I'm now looking at nothing but a blank wall and I know he's still looking at me and oh, my word, I just want to leave. -- Colleen Hoover
I told him I wanted to major in creative writing and sit around in yoga pants and do nothing but write books eat ice cream every day. -- Colleen Hoover
I press my forehead against hers. "I'm so glad you showed up," I whisper. "You changed my life forever that night. -- Colleen Hoover
Tonight, everyone's focus is on my art, but my focus is on her. She's the most interesting piece in this entire room. -- Colleen Hoover
You're the most important part of my life, Lily. I want to be what brings you happiness. Not what causes you to hurt. -- Colleen Hoover
If she's not careful, I might just fall in love with her. Tonight. -- Colleen Hoover
After a while, I began to notice that the good moments with Brad began to outweigh all the sadness. The sadness that was my life became the moments, and my happiness with Brad became my life -- Colleen Hoover
And right now, all I can do is take his word. All I can do is take my trust and place it back into his hands. I just hope he knows that it's all the trust I have left to give him. I know for a fact that if he hurts me like he's hurt me before, it'll be the last time he ever hurts me. -- Colleen Hoover
But then this morning I had to tell him goodbye. And he held me and kissed me so much, I thought I might die if he let go.
But I didn't die. Because he let go and here I am. Still living. Still breathing.
Just barely. -- Colleen Hoover
You should get some Rodan and Fields. The amp roller works wonders for scarring. -- Colleen Hoover
If this thesis were a child, I'd put it up for adoption and not even think twice about it. If this thesis were a cute, fuzzy puppy, I'd drop it off in the middle of a busy intersection and speed away. -- Colleen Hoover
Take it from someone who's had it before ... you don't want to let it slip away. Fight for her. -- Colleen Hoover
But now
it's like God has it out for us. Why both of them? Wasn't my dad enough? It's like death came and punched us square in the face. -- Colleen Hoover
I don't know what will be more painful. Staying away from her so she doesn't find out, or telling her the truth and ruining her life all over again. - Dean Holder -- Colleen Hoover
When I'm around you, I feel too drunk to speak to you. And I've never even tasted alcohol before, but I'm sure kissing you is what being drunk feels like. If that's the case, I'm already worried for my sobriety because I can see myself becoming addicted to kissing you.. -- Colleen Hoover
It's crazy how being held by someone for just a few minutes can forever change how it feels not to be held by him. -- Colleen Hoover
Another tear falls, but this time it falls from my eye. I take a step back and I let go of her. -- Colleen Hoover
Sometimes two people need to fall apart to realize how much they need to fall back together."
I take her hand and rest it between us, then stroke the back of it with my thumb. "Let's not fall apart again," I whisper.
She looks me in the eyes. "Never. -- Colleen Hoover
A few months. Long enough to find out she's fucking crazy," he says with a huge roll of his eyes. "And long enough to realize that the reason why I love her is because she's fucking crazy. -- Colleen Hoover
Question everything. Your love, your religion, your passion. If you don't have questions, you'll never find answers. -- Colleen Hoover
I hate everybody too, Cinderella. She laughs softly, probably confused as to why I just referred to her as Cinderella. -- Colleen Hoover
I absolutely, positively hate this beautiful, magical feeling. -- Colleen Hoover
I think about how sometimes, no matter how convinced you are that your life will turn out a certain way, all that certainty can be washed away with a simple change in tide. I -- Colleen Hoover
A life of mediocrity is a waste of a life. -- Colleen Hoover
My grandmother looks at me and shakes her head. "He got one of those intelligent phones. Now he's trying to twit the president." "Smart phones," I correct her. "And it's tweet, not twit." "He follows me," my grandfather says defensively. "I'm not kidding, he really does! -- Colleen Hoover
I may not be a role model, but at least I'm raising really smart children. -- Colleen Hoover
Choose your battles, but don't choose very many. -- Colleen Hoover
I've never looked forward before. I've always looked back. I think about the past way too much and I think about what I should have done and everything I did wrong and I've never once looked forward in my life. -- Colleen Hoover
Breathe," he whispers into my ear. "Calm down, Sky. I know you're confused and scared, but I'm here. I'm right here. Just breathe. -- Colleen Hoover
No matter how much I want to scream at him and make him leave, I find myself wishing he could squeeze me just a little bit tighter. I want him to lock his arms around me and throw away the key, because this is where he belongs and I'm scared he'll just let me go again. -- Colleen Hoover
Beat, beat, pause. Contract, expand. Inhale, exhale. -- Colleen Hoover
Six has never been a morning person, and from the looks of it, she's not an afternoon person, either. In all honesty, she's also not a night person. If I had to guess when her most pleasant time of day occurs, it's probably while she sleeps, which may be why she hates to wake up so much. -- Colleen Hoover
Maybe I'm not the hero to her I've always tried so hard to be, because right now, I feel as if she doesn't even need a hero. Why would she? She has someone so much stronger than I'll ever be for her. She has herself. -- Colleen Hoover
I sigh and sit back up on the couch. "Hey, Mom." I'm really surprised she's speaking to me. It's only been one day since the funeral. That's 364 days sooner than I expected to hear from her. -- Colleen Hoover
I know why people write poetry," Javi says. "Because they're a bunch of emotional saps with nothin' better to do than whine about ex-girlfriends and dead dogs."
"You're wrong, Javi," I say. "That's called country music. -- Colleen Hoover
The way his voice wraps around my name makes me wish the only word in his entire vocabulary was 'Sky'. -- Colleen Hoover
The fact that I'm the reason for that heated look in his eyes makes me feel even more desirable than when I imagine being perfect. -- Colleen Hoover
Only one day at public school and the bitches already made your locker rain?" she laughs. "Impressive. -- Colleen Hoover
When you find love, you take it. You grab it with both hands and you do everything in your power not to let it go. You can't just walk away from it and expect it to linger until you're ready for it. -- Colleen Hoover
It's really sad when pizza can make it to you faster than the police, -- Colleen Hoover
It's weird and normal and hot and sad and strange and I don't really want to let go. -- Colleen Hoover
Shut, throwing my arm over my face. I hear the door shut behind her and by the time I adjust to the brightness, the light is gone again. -- Colleen Hoover
Man, that's unreal," she says. "Yeah, it is. But it's my real. -- Colleen Hoover
Dillon, if you're trying to impress me, You're going about it the wrong way. I much prefer a guy with a little more modesty and a lot less wife. -Tate -- Colleen Hoover
With the advancement in e-reading technology, I was curious if it were possible for readers to be able to hear the actual songs while reading the book. I contacted Amazon and discussed the idea with their Kindle team, and they were very enthusiastic about it. -- Colleen Hoover
You shouldn't offer cookies without milk, you know. You're a pretty pathetic hostess. -- Colleen Hoover
I pace the room, trying to figure out a solution. She can't stay here. But I want her to stay. I can't share a bathroom with her, but I don't really want anyone else to share a bathroom with her, either. I'm a little bit selfish, apparently. -- Colleen Hoover
Sometimes not speaking says more than all the words in the world. -- Colleen Hoover
I'm pretty sure my addiction to reading has just reached a whole new level. -- Colleen Hoover
Give me your phone number," I say.
"As long as you aren't planning to text me pics of your ego stroking after school."
I laugh and clutch at my heart. "Dammit, Six. I love every single word that comes out of your mouth."
"Cock," she says dryly.
She's evil. -- Colleen Hoover
Should it matter what genre it is if the book is good? -- Colleen Hoover
I lean my head back and close my eyes, attempting to figure out where I went right in my life to deserve her. -- Colleen Hoover
I'm way too selfish to have children. -- Colleen Hoover
Did I mention he was wearing a onesie? I'm talking a legit, full-grown man in a SpongeBob onesie. -- Colleen Hoover
If I were capable of loving someone . . . it would be you. -- Colleen Hoover
And sometimes when I feel that much emotion, something inside of me just snaps. -- Colleen Hoover
I hold still against her, taking one final look at this amazing, beautiful girl beneath me. "You're the greatest thing that's ever happened to my life," I whisper. -- Colleen Hoover
I know is if you're going to cheat on Silas Nash it had better be with Ryan Gosling. -- Colleen Hoover
Wife," I say, staring straight into her eyes. "Think what you want, but there isn't a single woman in this whole damn universe that I could ever love like I love you. -- Colleen Hoover
If I took every romantic poem, every book, every song, and every movie I've ever read, heard or seen and extracted the breathtaking moments, somehow bottling them up, they would pale in comparison to this moment.
This moment is incomparable. -- Colleen Hoover
Tell me something about yourself no one else knows, something I can keep for myself. -- Colleen Hoover
Although I wasn't ready for anything right now, I thought the possibility would be there. I assumed that maybe someday, when I was ready, things could have developed between us. -- Colleen Hoover
You're the only one who could have ever met my standards for her, Miles. I'm happy it's you. -- Colleen Hoover
Maybe she can be like Cinderella and I'll be her Prince Charming. -- Colleen Hoover
When I published my first novel, 'Slammed,' I included lyrics at the beginning of each chapter from one of my favorite bands, The Avett Brothers. The overwhelmingly positive response from readers to those lyrics really surprised me. -- Colleen Hoover
He's smiling, and I didn't realize how much I missed seeing that smile. He should smile all the time. Forever. At me. -- Colleen Hoover
We wrap our arms around each other and we cry. We cry mother to daughter. We cry aunt to niece. We cry victim to victim. We cry survivor to survivor. -- Colleen Hoover
Miles," I say, "I don't care about any of that. I just want you inside me. -- Colleen Hoover
Fallon, I don't care about the book. I don't even want to finish it. All I care about is you. Being with you every day. Seeing you every day. I'm not finished falling in love with you yet. But if you don't want to finish falling in love with me, then you need to tell me right now. -- Colleen Hoover
Andrew interrupts. "You're letting her drive your car? Are you kidding me? You've never even let me sit behind the damn wheel!" I look over at Andrew and shrug. "You aren't the one I'm in love with. -- Colleen Hoover
I'm afraid of how this is going to end. -- Colleen Hoover
I grin. "Good night, OMG." He slowly shakes his head back and forth while his eyes narrow playfully. "You're lucky I like you, Auburn Mason Reed." With that, he closes the door. "Oh my God," I whisper. I think I might have a crush on that boy. -- Colleen Hoover
I wish I could explain how I feel, but nothing can explain this moment. Not a vase of stars. Not a book. Not a song. Not even a poem. Nothing can explain the moment when the woman you would give your life for sees her daughter for the very first time. -- Colleen Hoover
It scares me to know that there's a chance I've come across one of the few people in this world who could make me feel this way, and I already have to give it up. - Auburn Reed -- Colleen Hoover
We're so lucky, Miles." "We sure are. -- Colleen Hoover
This kiss is just like he is - studied and never hurried. -- Colleen Hoover
I think about you every second of every day and I don't know how to get over you," she says.
"Don't," I beg her. "Please don't get over me. -- Colleen Hoover
I wrap my arms around her and pull her against me and when I feel her arms go around me, I do the most non-alpha thing I can possibly do. I cry like a fucking baby. -- Colleen Hoover
I am translucent, aquatic. Drifting, aimless. She is an anchor, sinking in my sea. - BENTON JAMES KESSLER -- Colleen Hoover
He cared more about the life of a kid he didn't even know than he did about his own career. And that's not a flaw, Sloan. That's a character trait. Pretty sure they call it compassion, -- Colleen Hoover
Will slams poems; I slam doors. -- Colleen Hoover
Nothing in my life has ever felt so good, yet hurt so achingly bad. -- Colleen Hoover
I'm not even going to tell you what I think about what just happened in there. But I know it sucked and I have no idea why you aren't crying right now, but I know your heart hurts, and maybe even your pride. So fuck school. We're going for ice cream. -- Colleen Hoover
Who cares about tomorrow?
What more is tomorrow,
than another day?
(-The Avett Brothers, "Swept Away") -- Colleen Hoover
I've never loved someone I hate so much, and I've never hated someone I love so much. -- Colleen Hoover
You spoke. A lot. -- Colleen Hoover
With kisses like these, I could see myself easily falling into Ben's life and forgetting how to live my own. -- Colleen Hoover
Love. Love is not found. Love finds -- Colleen Hoover
I might hate you by the end of the date."
"Or I might hate you," I say.
"Impossible." She props her foot up on the dash. "I'm unhateable. -- Colleen Hoover
If you'd feel more comfortable, I'd be happy to run with her for the next week or so in the mornings. I usually run the track at school, but it's not a big deal. You know, just to make sure this doesn't happen again. -- Colleen Hoover
I can't explain to you how perfect this girl is. And when I say perfect, I mean imperfect, because there's just too much wrong with her. But everything wrong with her is everything that draws me in and makes her perfect. -- Colleen Hoover
Just because someone hurts you doesn't mean you can simply stop loving them. It's not a person's actions that hurt the most. It's the love. If there was no love attached to the action, the pain would be a little easier to bear. -- Colleen Hoover
Just because you blocked the memory of me out of your mind doesn't mean you blocked the memory of me out of your heart -- Colleen Hoover
My heart pounds against my chest. Not because I'm nervous. Not even because I want her worse that I've ever wanted her before. It's pounding against my chest because I realize I've never been so sure about the rest of my life than I am in this moment. This girl is the rest of my life. -- Colleen Hoover
And I'm in love with her. Like, really in love with her. Crippling, debilitating, paralyzing love. So please accept my sincerest apologies, because she's coming home with me tonight. I hope. I pray. -- Colleen Hoover
Don't
tempt the scorpion if you don't want to
get stung. -- Colleen Hoover
Selflessness. It should be the basis of every relationship. If a person truly cares about you, they'll get more pleasure from the way they make you feel, rather than the way you make them feel. -- Colleen Hoover
My flaws are draped in her mercy Revered by her false perception And with her lips upon my skin She will undress my deception. - BENTON JAMES KESSLER -- Colleen Hoover
Never forget that I was your first real kiss. Never forget that you'll be my last. And never stop loving me between all of them. -- Colleen Hoover
How the hell old is she? "You're not in junior high, are you?" "God no. I've just never held anyone's hand before. The guys I've been with seem to forget this part. But it's nice. I like it." "Yeah," I agree. "It is nice." "Wait," she says. "You aren't in junior high, are you?" "No. Not yet," I say. -- Colleen Hoover
If God's the type of guy that would damn you to Hell just for loving someone, then I wouldn't want to spend eternity with Him, anyway. -- Colleen Hoover
I love you so damn much, it hurts.' I force my lips against hers, then pull away just as fast. 'But it hurts in a really good way. -- Colleen Hoover
Open the damn present, Sky. I know you hate getting gifts, but I love giving them, so stop being a depressing bitch and open it and love it and hug me and thank me. -- Colleen Hoover
I'm just a brother who loved his sister more than life itself. -- Colleen Hoover
It's funny how he refuses to make eye contact during sex yet can't seem to keep his eyes off me the rest of the time. -- Colleen Hoover
As soon as he comes into view, I lose the war. The war I didn't even know I was fighting. It doesn't happen often, but when I do find a guy attractive, it's better when it happens with a person I want it to happen with -- Colleen Hoover
Disappointed, yes. Annoyed, yes. But I'm not really mad. -- Colleen Hoover
I hate technology. -- Colleen Hoover
We cry survivor to survivor. -- Colleen Hoover
Does not-your boyfriend realize I'm Mormon?"
I nod. "It turns out, Holder doesn't have an issue with Mormons at all. He just has an issue with assholes. -- Colleen Hoover
I told you before I'll never stop loving you. I'll never forget what we have. -- Colleen Hoover
Before we do what?' she asks hesitantly.
Before we do what we both want to do. Before I lean in one more inch. And before you part your lips for me just enough for me to steal a taste. Before I put my hands and your hips and back you up until you have nowhere to go but onto your bed. -- Colleen Hoover
I didn't want to let you down, Sky. I've let everyone down in my life that's ever loved me, and after that day at lunch I knew I let you down, too. So ... I left you before you could start loving me. Otherwise, any effort to try not to disappoint you would be hopeless. -- Colleen Hoover
I've learned that the heart can't be
told when and who and how it should love. The
heart does whatever the hell it wants to do. The
only thing we can control is whether we give our
lives and our minds the chance to catch up to our
hearts. -- Colleen Hoover
In fact, I kind of have the urge to fall asleep right now," Miles says. He lifts his eyes to meet mine. "Right here at the table. -- Colleen Hoover
You need to be proud of the fact that you survived everything you went through as a child. Don't seperate yourself from that life. Embrace it, because I'm so fucking proud of you. -- Colleen Hoover
The difference between the ugly side of love and the beautiful side of love is that the beautiful side is much lighter. It makes you feel like you're floating. It lifts you up. Carries you. -- Colleen Hoover
Well you hear this voice right now
Well that's pretty much all I am -- Colleen Hoover
Don't think for a second that my issues are because of anything you do or don't do. -- Colleen Hoover
I stroke her hair, then the side of her face. I'm sorry it took me so long to get it. It's my faul you had doubts. I promise, there won't be a day that goes by from now on that I won't show you how
much you mean to me. -- Colleen Hoover
Remember a few months ago when I told you sometimes we have to have really bad days in order to keep the good ones in perspective?" I think I nod. I can't really feel my body anymore. "Well, this is one of the good days. This is one of the really good days. -- Colleen Hoover
I don't know a lot about the human body, but I would be willing to bet there's a nerve that runs directly from the palm of the hand, straight to the heart. -- Colleen Hoover
Me - not wanting to admit that I just let him use me again.
Him - not wanting to admit that it was more than just sex.
Both of us lying to ourselves. -- Colleen Hoover
I think I'd rather be heading to detention right now than to talk to him. My stomach is tied up in so many knots it could make a boy scout envious. -- Colleen Hoover
Guys see boobs coupled with a great sense of humor and think they've found the holy fucking grail. -- Colleen Hoover
I seem to have a one-track mind, and that track leads straight to the two things I shouldn't even be thinking about right now. Her boobs. Both of them. -- Colleen Hoover
Staring is harmless, so why do I feel so guilty? -- Colleen Hoover
I like that he calls her Issa, which I'm assuming is short for Allysa. I think about my own name and if I'll ever find a guy who could shorten it into a sickeningly cute nickname. Illy.
Nope. Not the same -- Colleen Hoover
He has a dick and two balls and no heart and that makes him Hunter's twin. I should probably just start calling him Hunter. -- Colleen Hoover
The thought of marriage repulses me,"he says. "[...] I especially don't want children. The only thing I want out of life is success. Lots of it. But if I admit that out loud to anyone, it makes me sound arrogant. -- Colleen Hoover
The more she likes me, the more closed off she becomes. The more sarcasm she inflicts on me. Vulnerability makes her feel weak, -- Colleen Hoover
After you fell asleep, I moved the video camera closer to us. I wrapped my arms around you and listened to you breathe until I fell asleep.
Sometimes when I have trouble sleeping, I'll play that video.. -- Colleen Hoover
And forget all about the fact that my father is human and makes awful choices like the rest of us -- Colleen Hoover
I casually lean against the mailbox and pretend to ignore the fact that she totally just checked me out. I'll ignore it to save her embarassment, but I'm definitely not going to forget it. In fact, I'll probably be thinking about the way her eyes scrolled down my body for the rest of the damn day. -- Colleen Hoover
Will Cooper prefers the whole Lake. -- Colleen Hoover
Sure. But if the book sucks, we're re-evaluating the friendship. -- Colleen Hoover
I feel vulnerable. I I try to mask my emotions, but I feel like everyone knows what I'm thinking and feeling, and I don't like it. I don't like being an open book. I feel like I'm up on the stage, pouring my heart out to him, and it scares the hell out of me. -- Colleen Hoover
I didn't think God would make someone go through that much physical pain. I didn't think God would make someone suffer like she suffered -- Colleen Hoover
My eyes finally make the brave journey up to his. When I see the stoic look on his face, I want to step back, but I'm afraid I'll trip over my heart. I don't want him to watch me fall. -- Colleen Hoover
You're in love with her, aren't you?" I pause. Am I? I sign and clasp my hands behind my head, not sure what to say. "I'm trying so hard not to be," I say quietly, admitting it to myself for the first time. -- Colleen Hoover
That's what fifteen minutes can do to a person. It can destroy them. It can save them. -- Colleen Hoover
Wife? Are you sure you're ready to not call retreat? Right now?
I'm butterflying positive. -- Colleen Hoover
You did everything you could, but sometimes all the love in the world from mothers and brothers isn't enough to help pull someone out of their nightmare. We just need to accept that things are what they are, and all the guilt and regret in the world can't change that. -- Colleen Hoover
She would be shocked if she knew how much of her past has affected my present, which -- Colleen Hoover
So whether or not you can find it in your heart to love me again, I needed to thank you for saving me. And if there is any part of you capable of forgiving me, you know where I'll be. Tonight, next year, the next, for eternity. The choice is yours. -- Colleen Hoover
He shrugs. "Not to most people."
This makes me smile. I like that he doesn't even know me, but for whatever reason, I'm not considered most people to him. -- Colleen Hoover
She's familiar. My only familiar thing in a world of inconsistency and confusion. -- Colleen Hoover
Sometimes the simplest questions are the hardest to ask. -- Colleen Hoover
There can't be a maybe someday between us. There will never be a maybe someday. -- Colleen Hoover
I feel like my maybe someday just became my right now. -- Colleen Hoover
I turn and look at them, at both halves of my heart, cuddled tightly together in a bed of irony. -- Colleen Hoover
There will never be a maybe someday. -- Colleen Hoover
Truths are written, never said ... Lines are drawn, but then they fade. -- Colleen Hoover
Maybe someday I'll have that, bit it won't be with Ridge, and knowing that diminishes whatever ray of hope shone through the storm of my week. -- Colleen Hoover
I walked away for dramatic effect," he says. "I wasn't finished eating. -- Colleen Hoover
Warren returns from his room and sits back down at the table.
"I walked away for dramatic effect," he says. "I wasn't finished eating yet. -- Colleen Hoover
Are you still thinking about kissing me?"
I tilt my head back against the pillow and look up at her. "I moved beyond the kiss. Marry me. -- Colleen Hoover
Is life really that black-and-white, though? -- Colleen Hoover
You can't pursue the willing, Fallon. -- Colleen Hoover
If you aren't on Goodreads, you should be. I've said it before, it's like Facebook for readers on crack. -- Colleen Hoover
We've got an entire lifetime ahead of us to do things like get married. But sometimes things in people's lives don't happen in chronological order like they should. Especially in our lives. Our chronological order got mixed up a long time ago. -- Colleen Hoover
It's a shame when a body like that doesn't come with any brains. -- Colleen Hoover
I don't want to be your first, Fallon. I want to be your last. -- Colleen Hoover
I can still feel the wounds your tears left in my chest every time I breathe. -- Colleen Hoover
sometimes find it difficult to control my indignation in the presence of absurdity." She -- Colleen Hoover
I don't want you to change, Bridgette. I'm not in love with who you could be, or who you used to be, or who the world says you should be. I'm in love with you. Right now. Just like this. -- Colleen Hoover
There's no other way to describe how I feel. I know that the way I think about her and feel about her is wrong, but I struggle so much with how right it feels when I'm with her. -- Colleen Hoover
Say it's wrong, but it feels right. -- Colleen Hoover
Say it's wrong, but baby, it feels right. -- Colleen Hoover
Regret is counterproductive. It's looking back on a past that you can't change. Questioning things as they occur can prevent regret in the future. -- Colleen Hoover
Jesus Christ, Tate, you're staring at his damn crotch! -- Colleen Hoover
You are my wife. I'm supposed to be the one who protects you from the monsters. I'm not supposed to be one. -- Colleen Hoover
Just say it, I beg. I need her to say it out loud. All I need is for her to admit she brought him here because she was hurt and scared. I need her to admit that there's an actual heart inside her chest. And that sometimes it beats for me -- Colleen Hoover
I can already tell he isn't the kind of guy a girl gets a simple crush on. He's the kind of guy you fall hard for, and the thought of that terrifies me. -- Colleen Hoover
I want to feel that again. I want to remember what it feels like to love someone like that. And not just anyone. I want to know what it feels like to love Charlie. -- Colleen Hoover
She closes the door and I immediately fall to my knees, then onto my back. I stare straight up at the roof of her porch, wondering what in the hell just happened to my heart. -- Colleen Hoover
I love you, Daniel Wesley," she whispers.
"I love you Seven Marie Six Cinderella Jacobs. -- Colleen Hoover
I won't be marrying you with the hope that our marriage will work out. When you become mine, It'll be a forever thing -- Colleen Hoover
But if you're asking who I need more? Who I want to be with more? Who my heart craves more? My heart decided that for me a long time ago, Sydney. -- Colleen Hoover
Plants need to be loved the right way in order to survive. So do humans. We rely on our parents from birth to love us enough to keep us alive. And if our parents show us the right kind of love, we turn out as better humans overall. But if we're neglected . . -- Colleen Hoover
I'm so acutely aware of everything about him in this moment that I'm almost positive I could pick his thumbprint out of a lineup. -- Colleen Hoover
The only thing that can break the unbreakable is the unthinkable. -- Colleen Hoover
My suck was losing my best friend to an eleven year old. -- Colleen Hoover
Somehow in the course of sixty seconds, this guy has managed to swoon me, then terrify the hell out of me. -- Colleen Hoover
You need to know, I'd go fifty-nine more. What ever it takes to let you win I'd retreat all over and all over and all over again -- Colleen Hoover
It takes way more effort to be a bitch than it does to not be one. -- Colleen Hoover
We're branded. You and me. We are so in love, Charlie. You feeling it yet? Do I make your hear go pitter patter? -- Colleen Hoover
I lift my eyes back to his and inhale, but for the life of me, I can't remember how to exhale -- Colleen Hoover
You don't deserve words, Sky. You deserve actions. -- Colleen Hoover
I don't know how this hopeless boy weaseled his way into my life this week, but I know i'm definitely not ready for him to leave. -- Colleen Hoover
I wonder ... because that's all I can do. Silently wonder about the hopeless boy who somehow burrowed himself into the forefront of my thoughts and won't go the hell away. -- Colleen Hoover
And looking up at him right now, half of me doesn't even want to fight him. I don't know if I should scream for help or rip off my clothes. -- Colleen Hoover
I know you are mad at me. I need you to be mad at me, Sky. But think I need you to still want me here with you even more. -- Colleen Hoover
I wonder if Dean is his nice persona and Holder is his scary one. Holder is definitely the one I saw at the grocery store earlier. I think I like Dean a lot better. -- Colleen Hoover
Want me to run with you?" he asks, nudging his head toward the sidewalk behind me.
Yes, please.
"No, it's fine. -- Colleen Hoover
There's a gate?" I ask, confused. "Why do we always climb the fence?"
He shoots me a sly grin. "You were in a dress the two times we've been here. Where's the fun in walking through a gate? -- Colleen Hoover
I am mad at you, Holder," I say with an unsteady, but sure voice. "But no matter how mad I've been, I never for one second stopped wanting you here with me. -- Colleen Hoover
I'm gonna go live my life now, Les. A life I'm actually able to look forward to, and I'd honestly thought I'd never be able to say that. Then again, I'd honestly thought I'd always be hopeless, but I find hope every single day. -- Colleen Hoover
You fell asleep right when she was about to find out her mother's secret. How dare you. I'll be back tomorrow night so you can finish reading it to me. And by the way, you have really bad breath and you snore way too loud. -- Colleen Hoover
Real ugly endings are better than fake happily ever after's -- Colleen Hoover
When I said you weren't getting kissed tonight, I meant it. But dammit, Sky. I had no idea how fucking difficult you would make it. -- Colleen Hoover
Ugh! I absolutely hate lust. Hate. It. Every fiber of my being knows he's not a good person, yet my body doesn't seem to give a shit at all. -- Colleen Hoover
I keep forgetting you're technologically challenged. -- Colleen Hoover
[ ... ] Because I want your first kiss to be the best first kiss in the history of first kisses. -- Colleen Hoover
Now I know it's because somewhere in my mind, I still harboured hatred and fear for that man, so it was just easier to erect the brick wall and never look back. -- Colleen Hoover
He flashes me his dimple-laden grin, and I faint.
No ... literally. I fainted. -- Colleen Hoover
She chokes on her drink with her laugh. "Chunk? You call your little sister Chunk?" "We all call her Chunk. She was a fat baby." She laughs. "You have nicknames for everyone," she says. "You call Sky Cheese Tits. You call Holder Hopeless. What do you call me when I'm not around? -- Colleen Hoover
He's holding onto me, but this time it feels like he's holding onto me because his earth has shifted off its axis, and I'm his core. -- Colleen Hoover
I had fun today," he says. "You're kind of weird. -- Colleen Hoover
I continue to exist, and he continues to exist,but we don't exist together. -- Colleen Hoover
I just practically begged him to kiss me, and he's critiquing my grammar? -- Colleen Hoover
My eyes trail from his hand to the tattoo written in small script across his forearm. Hopeless -- Colleen Hoover
I take my seat and pick the e-reader back up. "You know, Breckin. You really are pretty damn great." He smiles and winks at me. "It's the Mormon in me. We're a pretty awesome people. -- Colleen Hoover
I went from wanting to lick his dimples to wanting to get the hell away from him. -- Colleen Hoover
Let's leave the specifics up to the situation. -- Colleen Hoover
The last thing you want to do is lose sight of your limit. Please don't allow that to happen..... We all have a limit. What we're willing to put up with before we break. -- Colleen Hoover
My grandfather used to say the placement of a birthmark was the story of how a person lost the battle in their past life. I guess you got stabbed in the neck. Bet it was a quick death, though. -- Colleen Hoover
Will you break rule number two with me, Tate? Because I really want to marry you. -- Colleen Hoover
In the midst of the worst day of my life, I find the strength to smile. "Thank you, Holder. So much. I couldn't do this without you." ... "Yes, babe. You could. -- Colleen Hoover
Charlie: There's this really neat feature on your phone called, "read receipts." If you're going to ignore texts, you should probably turn that off. ;) -- Colleen Hoover
Just seeing her again, even from a distance, reminds meof why I crave to be around her so much. It's only been a
few days, but since the moment I met her, no matter where I am, I'm constantly wondering about her. My attention is constantly homed in on her like I'm a compass and she's my North. -- Colleen Hoover
What do you want to be?"
"Happy," she says with a smile.
That's the perfect answer. -- Colleen Hoover
I'm not going to pretend that I know what you've gone through. But after reading those pages, I can assure you that you aren't the only one who was scarred in that fire. Just because he chose not to show you his scars doesn't mean they don't exist. -- Colleen Hoover
But every smile on your face
seems to replace
A memory I'd rather not hold
Each time you laugh, it fills a
void
Each kiss heals another wound
in my soul -- Colleen Hoover
Some secrets should never turn into confessions. I know that better than anyone. -- Colleen Hoover
Maybe she appears terrified now because I practically chase her down and I'm giving her absolutely no explanation. I'm just standing here like a creepy stalker and I have no idea how to even ask her if she's the girl I lost all those years ago. - Dean Holder -- Colleen Hoover
Please forgive me. I had two poor choices to choose from, neither of which I wanted. -- Colleen Hoover
I've been kissing her every day for over a year, and
it somehow still gets better every time. -- Colleen Hoover
Okay, so how does this work exactly?" I ask as we walk toward his car. "Do we float down the bayou in rowboat while little critters sing 'Kiss the Girl'. -- Colleen Hoover
But the heart of a man and a woman in love Can be worse than not having a heart at all Because at least if you have no heart at all It can't die when it breaks apart -- Colleen Hoover
We haven't even been dating an hour yet and you already want to dump me? Am I not very good at this boyfriend thing? -- Colleen Hoover
My heart aches to love hers. -- Colleen Hoover
Never never, he whispers. His warmth, his lips, his hands.
He presses his mouth to mine and kisses me deeply and I ... -- Colleen Hoover
Oh, my god, this chick just mentioned MacGyver?
Hell.
Yes. -- Colleen Hoover
I'm beginning to fear that maybe I'm not so though after all -- Colleen Hoover
Always remember there is nothing worth sharing like the love that let us share our name. -- Colleen Hoover
I want you to remember who you are, despite the bad things that are happening to you. Because those bad things aren't you. They are just things that happen to you. You need to accept that who you are and the things that happen you, are not one and the same. -- Colleen Hoover
His ability to make me feel like this huge invisible void pisses me off. The way he pauses to chew on the tip of his pen pisses me off. Just last night, those same lips that are wrapped around the tip of his ugly red pen were making their way up my neck. -- Colleen Hoover
In the future . . . if by some miracle you ever find yourself in the position to fall in love again . . . fall in love with me." He presses his lips against my forehead. "You're still my favorite person, Lily. Always will be. -- Colleen Hoover
The only person who gives a shit about a few scars on your face is you." I -- Colleen Hoover
People don't get to choose who they fall in love with. They only get to choose who they stay in love with. -- Colleen Hoover
I missed you," he says. "A lot. And screw it if I'm not supposed to admit that, but I tried the whole alpha-male thing for two seconds and I just can't do it. So you don't get alpha-Ben today. I'm sorry. -- Colleen Hoover
No matter how tough you've been trying to act lately, I know that deep down you have a heart that bleeds in the presence of injustice. -- Colleen Hoover
Sometimes even grown women need their mother's comfort so we can just take a break from having to be strong all the time. -- Colleen Hoover
Be accepting. Of everything. People's differences, their similarities, their choices, their personalities. Sometimes it takes a variety to make a good collection. The same goes for people. -- Colleen Hoover
Using you as a standard is completely unfair to the rest of the female population -- Colleen Hoover
Shouldn't there be more distaste in our mouths for the abusers than for those who continue to love the abusers? -- Colleen Hoover
Sky, wait. The way his voice wraps around my name makes me wish the only word in his entire vocabulary way Sky. -- Colleen Hoover
You are so, so beautiful, Auburn. Everywhere. Every part of you. On the outside, on the inside, when you're beneath me, on top of me, painted on a canvas. -- Colleen Hoover
I can't help but watch his lips as they cover the opening of the bottle that my lips were just touching.
We're practically kissing. -- Colleen Hoover
The moment my lips touch yours, it will be your first kiss. Because if you've never felt anything when someone's kissed you, then no one's ever really kissed you. Not the way I plan on kissing you. -- Colleen Hoover
The first time you kissed me?" I say. "That moment when your lips touched mine? You stole a piece of my heart that night -- Colleen Hoover
A crash. Books fall to the speckled linoleum floor. They -- Colleen Hoover
If you have sex with me, Bridgette, you're the one in danger of becoming clingy. You'll want so much more of me, I won't be able to tell the difference between you and Saran Wrap. -- Colleen Hoover
My heart is pounding like it wants out. I wish I could give it a way out. I'd set the mother-fucker free right now if I could. -- Colleen Hoover
She rolls her eyes again, but laughs this time. "You probably have callouses from jerking off too much." I hold up my right hand. "But they're on both hands, not just my left." "Ambidextrous," she deadpans. -- Colleen Hoover
With paranoia on my heels
Will you love me still
When we awake and you see that
The sanity has gone from my eyes? -- Colleen Hoover
I don't understand my sudden obsession with staring at her, but i can't seem to stop. -- Colleen Hoover
I don't know why we ever started drifting apart, but I'm certain of one thing: I'll never allow it to happen again -- Colleen Hoover
The sky is always beautiful.Even when it's dark or rainy or cloudy,it's still beautiful to look at ... it'll be there no matter what ... and I know it'll always be beautiful. -- Colleen Hoover
You don't deserve this life, baby, and there isn't a fucking thing I can do to make it better for you -- Colleen Hoover
He inhales a shaky breath while looking down at my mouth. You make it so hard to breathe. -- Colleen Hoover
I'll be there at six," Breckin says. He looks at me and smirks. "I bet you'll be there are six, too, right, Daniel? You like six? Is six good for you?"
He's on to us. Fucker. -- Colleen Hoover
Even though he's asleep, he somehow still looks as if he's in a world of pain. -- Colleen Hoover
I nod and hope he backs the hell away from me, because I'm about to have an asthma attack and I don't even have asthma. -- Colleen Hoover
Most of me believed she wouldn't show up today, but a small part of me still held out hope. I can't say that her choice has broken my heart, because that would mean my heart was still whole to be broken. -- Colleen Hoover
You can't be like me But be happy that you can't I see pain but I don't feel it I am like the old Tin Man. - THE AVETT BROTHERS, TIN MAN -- Colleen Hoover
comfort can sometimes be a crutch when it comes to figuring out your life. Goals are achieved through discomfort and hard work. They aren't achieved when you hide out in a place where you're nice and cozy. I -- Colleen Hoover
I hate that its my favorite thing to watch her, because it shouldn't be. It triggers all these what-ifs in my head, and my mind begins imagining things it shouldn't be imagining ... -- Colleen Hoover
What?!" Auburn says into the phone. "What kind of secret phrase is 'pencil dick'? -- Colleen Hoover
Please don't tell me you're one of those pretentious readers who judge people by the books they like. He -- Colleen Hoover
I bet you'll be there at six, too, right, Daniel? You like six? Is six good for you? -- Colleen Hoover
I've learned some thing about my heart.
It can break.
It can ripped apart.
It can harden and freeze.
It can stop. Completely.
It can shatter in to million pieces.
It can explode.
It can die.
The only thing that made it start beating again?
The moment you open your eyes -- Colleen Hoover
I suppose if a man lived through the ugliest side of love, he might never want to experience it again. -- Colleen Hoover
I thought you were best friends," he says. He sounds relieved to be talking about something else.
"We used to be. Things change. People change. People get new best friends," I say. -- Colleen Hoover
I wonder what kind of sound it would make if I were to smash this glass against the side of his head. -- Colleen Hoover
Never judge others. You both know good and well how unexpected events can change who a person is. Always keep that in mind. You never know what someone else is experiencing within their own life. -- Colleen Hoover
It makes me want to go back and reread everything I've ever read, now that I'm experiencing these things with someone in real life. -- Colleen Hoover
I bend down and pick one up. The cover is dark, of a house and a girl, merging together as one. It's creepy. I can't imagine sitting up here alone, reading books like this in the dark. -- Colleen Hoover
Her suspicion brings me a small sense of gratification. She thinks I'm lying about something. Now we're even.
Lake -- Colleen Hoover
You hear that, heart? We're even now. -- Colleen Hoover
I want to have friends that I can trust, who love me for the man I've become ... not the man that I was. -- Colleen Hoover
If I had superpower, it would be infiltration. I would infiltrate his mind so I could see every single one of his thoughts. -- Colleen Hoover
She smiles when she sees me. That's it. All she did just now was smile, but all of a sudden, my chest is on fire, and it feels as if a wave of heat just rolled down the entire length of my body. I recognize this feeling, and it's not good. -- Colleen Hoover
Sometimes it's easy to forget how much you miss people until you see them again. -- Colleen Hoover
That's nice, Brian. You want a trophy? -- Colleen Hoover
You told me once that too much good in a person's life will stunt their growth. You said pain is necessary, because in order for a person to succeed, they must first learn to conquer adversity. And that's what you do ... you deliver adversity where you see fit. -- Colleen Hoover
What's the difference?" I lower my mouth to hers once more. "You," I whisper. "I like kissing you. -- Colleen Hoover
He opens his eyes and looks at me. "I like kissing you, Tate." I don't know why that sentence seemed hard for him to say, -- Colleen Hoover
It's you, he says aloud. My heart... wants you. -- Colleen Hoover
Good Lord, I've got butterflies. -- Colleen Hoover
The lights from inside the gallery are illuminating her skin, giving her a glow that really does make her look like an angel. I want to run my hand across her back and feel for actual wings. -- Colleen Hoover
Because if you've never felt anything when someone's kissed you, then no one's ever really kissed you. -- Colleen Hoover
But it feels good just getting it out - letting someone else know how much hatred I'm harboring. -- Colleen Hoover
He has the V. Those beautiful indentations on men that run the length of their outer abdominal muscles, -- Colleen Hoover
Tears begin to well in my eyes. I have no idea how or if I even deserve him, but there's one thing I know for sure. As long as he's part of it, I'll never live a life of mediocrity. -- Colleen Hoover
Maybe I feel like I need to witness a good dose of human nature at its worst before I enter the real world. It'll be less of a shock. -- Colleen Hoover
Then this girl completely shatters the window to my soul and crawls inside. -- Colleen Hoover
One I'm not sure I'm supposed to appreciate -- Colleen Hoover
Her lips are in close proximity to mine, so of course I have to kiss them. -- Colleen Hoover
I want to be your end, but you gotta let it begin. -- Colleen Hoover
People aren't supposed to get pleasure out of the destruction Mother Nature is capable of, but we want to stare anyway -- Colleen Hoover
Everything about her is captivating, like the aftermath of a storm. People aren't supposed to get pleasure out of the destruction Mother Nature is capable of, but we want to stare anyway. Charlie is the devastation left in the wake of a tornado. -- Colleen Hoover
If that boy can't see what a good thing he could have with you, then he ain't worth your time. -- Colleen Hoover
I love your indifference. I love how you really just don't give a shit what people think. -- Colleen Hoover
I don't want to be someone's second choice. -- Colleen Hoover
My entire body is battling itself. My left brain is telling me this is somehow wrong, my right brain is wanting to hear her sing again, my stomach is nowhere to be found, and my heart is punching itself in the face with one arm and hugging itself with the -- Colleen Hoover
I don't want Sydney ever to feel like my second choice, when I know in my heart that she's the right choice. The only choice. -- Colleen Hoover
Love and hate, despite their polar opposites, are both feelings that are induced by passion. I can handle that. It's the indifference I don't know how to process. -- Colleen Hoover
Or maybe I'm supposed to confront her right now, because as soon as I round the corner, my eyes land on her. I come to a quiet stop and watch her. She's the only one in the hallway -- Colleen Hoover
She dips her spoon into her ice cream, then puts the spoon back in her mouth. I can't stop staring at that spoon. I think I love that spoon. -- Colleen Hoover
Right now she looks calculating, staring at me like this. I want to grab my camera and take a picture of her. Something twirls in my stomach like ribbons, and I'm not sure if it's nerves or hunger or my reaction to the girl standing next to me. -- Colleen Hoover
Thank you for knowing exactly how to handle me, because sometimes I'm not even sure how to handle myself. -- Colleen Hoover
if you tell me you want to spend every single day on the calendar this year falling in love with me, then I'm going to kiss you. And I promise it'll be an eleven. -- Colleen Hoover
How is it possible that I'm already falling in love with you? -- Colleen Hoover
This thing about you that you think is your flaw - it's the reason I'm falling in love with you. -- Colleen Hoover
All I care about is you. Being with you every day. Seeing you every day. I'm not finished falling in love with you yet. -- Colleen Hoover
Everything about me and him and life makes so much sense when we're together like this.He makes me feel more beautiful.More important.More loved.I feel more everything -- Colleen Hoover
I don't care who the student is, teachers should never be condescending. That should be the first rule in the teacher handbook. -- Colleen Hoover
You can stop swimming now, Lily. We finally reached the shore. -- Colleen Hoover
Why do I feel like love and irritation go hand in hand with you? -- Colleen Hoover
