My teasers
“You smug son-of-a-bitch.” She tries to slap me, but I grab her wrist. Like always she didn’t hold back. It was a full swing. “Don’t do that. You’re not better than I am, hiding behind the fact that you’re an asshole.”
“There’s a difference because I’m not in denial about it.” The way her eyes dim, sad and acknowledging my words, does something to me. I feel them on me…in me. It’s fucking ridiculous and I’m the last one who should consoling this girl, but I grab her hand and pull her to me.“Come Here.”

Oooh this sounds like my kind of drama filled contemporary! I like ones that don't shy away from (in my eyes) "real" language of adults! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI read it this weekend almost within one day (I had to put it away at one point, because it was early in the morning already and I wouldn't have gotten any sleep then) and it was uh-mazing!!
DeleteWhoa. That's quite an intense moment! This sounds like it's going to be full of all sorts of emotional goodness, and I do so love books like that. Thanks for the teaser Siiri!
ReplyDeleteIt was so so so intense, Jenny! Full of emotions and all sorts of goodness *sigh* I feel like re-reding it already!
