“I am always surprised to discover that when the world seems darkest, there exists the greatest opportunity for light.”
He’d loved her once. She’d loved him. What was love if not a kind of forgetting? A forgetting about the inevitability of loss. Or was love more a kind of remembering? Remembering how badly we need to be needed, understood. Remembering that maybe it was the whole reason we were here.

Character Edits: Caroline Oresteia

Was I a Bollard or Oresteia? Both? I rather liked to think I was something else entirely. Something new.

I absolutely adored this book I loved the characters, their growth, the plot, the ending, the writing. All of it. I’ll read anything Brigid writes at the point. I love her writing! 
🌟🌟🌟🌟1/2

You are the only person who can build emotional barriers, but you’re also the only person who can topple them. Other people can’t knock down the walls you’ve built, no matter how much they love you. You have to tear them down yourself because there’s something worth seeing on the other side.
