I'm not kidding either. When I became too busy to sit down and finish the second chapter of the book I'm currently reading, it was a serious wake up call: I needed to set my priorities straight.
But you'll be happy to know that I have reached chapter 8. Meaning I have successfully rearranged my to-do list. So in honor of this change in willfull obligations, I've provided a little sampling.
Here's a quick quote from the book:
"The trouble with your face is that it's ruining me for other faces. It's making me rethink every face I've ever liked." -Love Walked In by Marisa De Los Santos
Not gunna lie. I sat and stared off into my happy place for about 5 minutes after reading this. Because HONESTLY, who says things like this? Oh, I know. Beautiful men.
Now, for those who are concerned that I have fallen into a pattern, this is NOT a romantic comedy. I REPEAT! NOT a romantic comedy. It's far greater than that. I assure you. But just to make sure my point is heard, here's ANOTHER quote that contrasts any fluffy cupcake thoughts you might be having about this book:
"Clare had never spoken to her mother like this, and almost immediately, she wished she could take the words back; they were so biting and vicious. One glance at her mother told her that she hadn't even heard but, just because someone can't notice that you're being mean, doesn't mean you're not; in fact, Clare decided, their not understanding makes it worse, like you're hurting a child. I have to be careful, Clare thought, not to become a very bad person."
