“Feeling better?” “Much. I probably won’t be running any marathons soon, but I’m cleared for all, um, normal activities.” The way she said normal activities made Mason purse his lips. “Would it be vastly inappropriate of me to read something into that?” “I was kind of hoping that you would, so that I wouldn’t actually have to say it.” ~ Lisa Clark O’Neill, Admit One ( Sweetwater #2)

Once in a while, a book comes along that packs such an emotional punch that I can’t keep my feelings to myself and remain silent about it. To my great delight, I’ve just found another one of those books. A couple of weeks ago, I read Lisa Wingate’s novel Before We Were Yours , and ever since I’ve felt the need to recommend this gut-wrenching novel to you, my fellow Wenches. I feel the story is important enough that everyone should have a chance to read it. If you’re intrigued, let me tell you more, and I’ll try to avoid spoilers.

Man cannot be freed by the same injustice that enslaved it. ~Pierce Brown, Red Rising

“I'm not mad, though," Kat said. "You lied to me, and I lied to you. We're even." Finally he lost the grin. "When did you lie?"

I didn't actually enjoy myself, if you know what I mean.” ― Gena Showalter, Alice in Zombieland
