Spearcrest Saints by Aurora Reed
3.0
SLOW BURN ACADEMIC RIVALS TO LOVERS. NEED I SAY MORE?
Omg this book is seriously so well written. A big applause to ms. Aurora Reed
Favourite lines:
“As lines, so loves oblique may well themselves in every angle greet; but ours so truly parallel, though infinite, can never meet . That’s just like us.”
“Sometimes, it does feel like I’ll die if I stop. But sometimes, it also feels like I’ll die if I keep going, too.” I tilt my head. “Know what I mean?” She nods, her smile fading. “I know what you mean.”
“Virginity is a social construct" YES YES YES.
Happiness is the true marker of superiority—not wealth or power or status. Not even intelligence.”
Zachary being utterly in love with Theodora:
“My beautiful nemesis. My formidable adversary. My dearest rival.”
“I don’t need a girlfriend,” I tell her in my most dignified tone. “I have a beautiful rival instead.”
“I forget. You know me better than I know myself—isn’t that so?”“Not at all. I know you quite well—very well, even—but I suspect your nature is as complex and unfathomable as the deepest ocean, and I look forward to spending much of my future pondering its mysteries.”
"Like an archer certain of his aim, he drew his bow strong and shot his arrow straight into my chest and watched it take my breath away with the most tender of smiles."
"My beloved goddess" "I absolutely, undeniably, inexorably love you."
“Don’t look so surprised. You’re quite intelligent, and for all your angelic features and forget-me-not eyes, you’re not naive either. You know perfectly well that I love you.” "You don't love me." "Ah, of course I do. I love you atrociously."
