“You really are everything I ever wanted”

“I love you enough for the both of us”

|Thoughts|

There were just so many great things about this story that meant I didn’t want to put it down. The whole he hates her, but secretly likes her but she doesn’t realise. And especially the fact they they’re unknowingly communicating via Twitter, perfection. Especially where he confesses her love for her and neither of them realise who they’re talking about. 

“I know the shape of her…wake up and go to work, she is there…she’s brilliant…I want to tell her that she’s luminous. I want to push her against a wall and I want her to push back”

Didn’t expect the slight suspense at the end but added a nice layer to the story. 

“You want to belong. You want someone who won’t let go. I’m it.”

The way their initial interactions and the fact she thinks he hates her, all have reasonable explanations. 

“Whatever your imagining from the tamest to the most inappropriate thoughts. That’s probably where my mind was at”

Love how smart she is, as frustrating as aspects of being a women in STEM must be, this was a satisfying way to show women in the field. How many languages can she speak? Love it. 

“Bee I don’t think this is, English”. I turn the notebook around. Shit. I wrote in German’.

There are times when Bee is a bit too naive and doesn’t understand Levi’s intentions. But wonder if its obvious as were the reader. Would have loved to have seen this as a dual PoV, yet Levi is the absolute cutest and love how hard he falls for her. 

“There’s someone in my corner. A guy who loves Star Wars and is too tall for space”

Also love how defensive and supportive she is given how horrible his family are. Wish we saw more of her twin sister. 

“I’m pretty sure I like you more”

“Your bathroom will be stained purple forgive”
“It’s everything I ever wanted”
