But I have quotes as usual :P
"I shouldn't have told anyone ... I should have known how wasy it would be for them to turn and make me the target"
"Liberty and justice for all never applied to us"
"It's easier to pretend I didn't hear anything; I don't have the energy. I want to say something, but I don't want to be painted as that person"
"And you know who's most likely to lie about getting an abortion? People who grow up in a religion that gets off on shame and guilt, who can't safely carry proof of their 'sin' on their bodies or risk being shunned by their families and excommunicated by their churh"
"Best way to piss them off is by protesting their shitty views while still getting an A"
God, I hate that I of all people assumed it was always a girl"
"I know it's hard living under someone else's shadow. But you're your own talents and passions"
"The day after every confession, I'm always gay all over again"
"I just don't know why I have to apologize for being exactly the way God made me"
"You can't put us through a year of scripture class and expect us to learn only the convenient parts"
"The Bible says a whole lot of things that the Catholic church kind of just ignores. Why get so hung up over this one detail?"
"We get shit for living a lie jues bucause we want to survive. I don't want to keep losing everyone I'm close to" ... "I don't owe anyone the truth, and I'll take my damn time with talking about it" ... "I shouldn't have to talk about it if I don't want to"
"I guess I was scared of the truth"
"He's our dad. It does matter what he thinks, no matter how much I wish it didn't. I'll always care what he thinks"
"I'm so angry with myself for not having figured it out then. He tried to tell me..."
"I just want you to talk to me"
"Mijo, if the Bible tells me I shouldn't love my kids, then the Bible is wrong"
"What kind of asshole calls himself an activist but then won't speak to his own children when push comes to shove?"
"They get bored quick if you don't let it get you"
"You followed the rules and they changed them" ...more

I felt the start slow but necessary, after the first few chapters, I read the rest in a heartbeat, I didn't like everything but didn't dislike a lot either, so there's not much to say, just QUOTES :P
"Justice? You think you'll get justice for Adam by throwing your own life away?"
"But I hate to think you let your duty override your heart so easily."
"I can put this Scarlett mess behind me and return to how things used to be." (That never happens)
"I've never really moved on. I grieved you so much and for so long-" "But you did. You did move on. I watched from outside as you...you went about your life, happy without me."
"In reality, monsters are made, and they can be unmade, too."
"And now, when she needs me most, there's not a damn thing I can do to save her. For all my skills and for all my strength... I'm helpless."
"Doing the good thing doesn't make up for it." ...more

The character**spoiler alert** 3.5 Just because it had me invested and I haven't seen much of the videogame idea. I don't know how to feel about this. The characters are okay, and it was a fast read even though it felt super slow at the end. How can a short book make me feel some parts are not needed? I won't make a big deal about missing or fast things because of the same, it was a short book. I didn't love the cheating part, I was hopping that at least the brother would break up with Fauna before Remy got with her but guess not, and the fact that they both messed up, messed me up, and Remy pretending to be Trevor and cyberfuking Fauna messed me up even more. Now Remy's parents, her mom it's so careless it's annoying and I don't get most of the actions of her dad.
Not a lot of quotes as usual, I just marked lesbians being lesbians so this is the only "decent" quote, and is not even decent.
"This was all really unethical, I guessed, but how could something so bad feel so good?"
Not a lot to say, the first half made sense, things were applicable and could actually help you change your "habits" but the second half was shit? thiNot a lot to say, the first half made sense, things were applicable and could actually help you change your "habits" but the second half was shit? things started to contradict things that were already said and a lot of things were not concise ...more

I can't really build an opinion, because I didn't go deep enough in the book but it's definitely not for me. (I should shop buying books I know I won't like just to "try")...more

I wasn't expecting this, I had an idea but idk I just wasn't expecting it like this, that doesn't mean I didn't like it, it's kind of cliche but idk I still liked it (I HAVE NOTHING TO SAY, I JUST LIKED IT)
QUOTES :P
"They have something I've never had, never wanted. Love is a weakness, a distraction, and the way Hadria has changed since Aurora only proves my point. She has something to lose, now. She has something that enemies can use for leverage."
"I should have done more. I should have tried to talk to him out of it, to find another way. But I was selfish, too focused on my own dreams to see the danger he was in."
"If I killed your brother, then he was no innocent. No saint. I don't kill good men, Scarlett."
"I find myself afraid, and I am not used to fear, Hades."
"I want justice for my brother." "Justice? or vengeance? Because those are two very different things."
"I don't want to kill Scarlett." We know Lyssa, we know ..." And if Hadria says Scarlett must die... then that's what will happen. Even if that means burying a part of myself along with her." ... "We have a reputation to uphold. There's no room for sentiment, no place for the glow of warmth that I feel when I think about Scarlett." ..."Humanity is not useful to someone like me."
"Maybe they didn't deserve to die for Adam. But none of them were innocent, Scar- and me most of all."
"You have let your goddamn feelings compromise everything."
"Because I didn't want justice, did I? That wasn't what I wanted and it wasn't what I got."

THE CHARACTERS AND THEIR RELATIONSHIPS I don't love anything more than well-constructed characters with deep relationships, and the fact that she gave me details and made me feel like I was in the characters was key to the story, feeling that fear and doubt about what would happen next had me invested. Also, the story was realistic and harsh, it talks about the media and how the publishing companies work, the author knew how to combine this with the view of those on "top of the system" and those "below". (There was a lot of things going on and I still felt that it was a short read?) I have a love-hate with the end, I don't know if I want another book because that'll definitely be to much, but I need to know what happens next.
QUOTES :P
"I've always suspected Athena likes my company precisely because I can't rival her. I understand her world, but I'm not a threat, and her achievements are so far out of my reach she doesn't feel bad squealing to my face about her wins."
"I don't know what frightens me more that she's manipulative enough to pull off such an act, or that everything she's saying might be true."
"I'm going to take this and make it mine"
36
"And fuck it, Ill just say it: taking Athenas manuscript felt like reparation, payback for the things that Athena took from me"
Well, if it's not true, then don't make such a big deal of it."
"I'm not the bad guy. I am the victim here."
"What's on the internet can't hurt you if you don't look at it."
"She clearly wasn't looking for resolution, she just wanted attention."
"I know, June. Athena never would have written something like tha.t" WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? I get that she thought Athena wouldn't think shes a bad mom, sure, but now I need the full story
"Is this all I can manage now? Stealing from fucking children?"
"Interesting is a word people use when they can't think of anything better to say."
"They might be judging the shit out of you on the inside, but on the outside, at least, they'll let you walt away with your pride intact"
"And then when I die, I won't have left any mark on the world. It'll be like I was never here at all"
"They catch you off guard, and because you don't know what to expect. But once you know exactly when the demon-possessed nun jumps out from behind the corner, they lose their power over you."
"Years of suppressed rage- rage at being treated like a stereotype, like my voice doesn't matter, like the entirety of my being is constituted in those two words, 'white woman'- bubble up inside me and burst"
"It's fucked up, yes. But I could survive a murder investigation. I can't survive what Candice will do to me if she walks out of here alive." INSANEEEEE
"What if Juniper Song was right? And this will become, in time, my story once again."
END I have a lot of comments at the end, but I can't find how to word them...more

"**spoiler alert** (I LOVE LYSSA) I liked the first one better but I still enjoyed this, I also don't have a lot to say but what I do have is quotes :p
"What made me think she would choose me over the freedom I gifted her?"
"In that case, I will make every effort. I don't like to see innocents taken advantage of by those who live with violence and cruelty. I must tell you, though if I find her, and she does not wish to be returned to you. Well, this budding friendship between us might be over before it starts" ..."Aurora will wish to return. I have no doubt of that" ... "What if Aurora really doesn't want to return"
"I could have killed Nero, you know. I had him at my mercy" ... "No. I was too weak" "Thank God. Don't ever change, Aurora. Not for me, not for anyone"
"...but I'm still changing. Still forming. Still finding my own identity in this world of Elysium. And there is no going back now to what I once was"
"I understand, thank you for wanting to protect me from that. But let me decide what stains my soul. Please. Freedom isn't just about going wherever I want. It's also about making my own choices, my own decisions" ... "For once in my life, I feel like I've been truly heard"
"That loyalty comes from love. And love requires trust"
(This is not necessary but I needed to) "I'll buy you a thousand pretty panties to wear, just so I can rip them off you before I fuck you"
"Not everyone who smiles at you is thinking happy thoughts. Just some friendly advice"
"Why on earth would I want to lead such a corrupt, honorless Family when I have my own people who would die for me? People who respect me not because of my name, but because I earned their loyalty"
(This is not necessary but I needed to part 2) "You like being watched, don't you? You like knowing that everyone out there might be looking at you, seeing you like this getting finger fucked by Hadria Imperioli, the fucking queen of Chicago"

However, I don't have much to say just quotes as usual :p
"Are you wearing anything under that ridiculous outfit?" Y se preocupa
"I did not save you, Sunshine. I merely reclaimed what was mine. You belong to me now" "I don't belong to anyone" "You don't belong to anyone?" "We'll see about that"
"I want respect, not just fear"
"And one day, I swear it, I'll be free" Yeah, and when she has the opportunity, she goes back to Hadria (I would do the same)
"The freedom to come and go as I please. To make my own choices, my own mistakes"
"Consider it a show of good faith between us. I know your time has been difficult. But when I said I wanted you to be happy, Aurora, I meant it" YES
"If you want her, have her. She wouldn't resist. She wants you, too" ... "I want her. But I know if I touch her..." "What?" "I'll destroy that light in her eyes. There's something in me that would take a great pleasure in extinguishing it, Lyssa. That's why I can't be around her" "You're just worried it would actually mean something to you"
"When I have him at my mercy, I will slowly and brutally castrate him and then watch him bleed out, because his threat toward Aurora has driven all thoughts of restraint from my mind. No one threatens what is mine" MUY CORRECTO ?
"Your innocence won't give him pause like" "Like it does you?" "Yes"
"You don't want me... nice?" "I want you. I want the real you. Please, show me"
"What do you want? What do you want from me, Aurora" TODO
"Does it mean something to you?" "Ah, Sunshine... It means far too much. That's the problem. I'm sorry if I've upset you. That was never my intention. I'm cold because that's who I need to be. It would be too dangerous for me to let anyone..." "Into your heart? Then if not your heart... your bed?" Oh
"If I want freedom, I can't wait for someone else to grant it to me. I need to take it"
"And it wasn't just your mother's request that made me..."
"Love is not for people like. And yet... The problem, of course, is that this isn't love. Can't be. Not while she is my prisoner. Not while I'm keeping her here against her will"
SORRY FOR ALL THIS BUT I HAD TO "You deserve so much more. A chance at a normal life, away from all this darkness. But I've been dazzled by you, so bright and beautiful. I wanted to process that light for myself" "You can have it. You can have it all, Hadria. You can have me" "Sunshine, don't you see? I can't keep you here. As much as it pains me... I need to set you free. I want you to have the freedom you crave" "But I don't" "Aurora. Don't you see? While I keep you here against your will, I can never really be certain if this thing between us it's real" "Believe me Hadria it's real" "But you can't know that, Sunshine. Not until you've had the opportunity to experience something different. Your whole life, you haven't had a choice. And I want to be the one to give you that. To give you the choice to stay or leave"

"Think about whether you might ever be able to forgive me for the things I've done to you" Excuse me, but what has she done?
