my mom recommended a book to me and i read it reluctantly, trying to placate her and also get myself out of the 'waiting for breaking dawn' blues. little did i know that the book would rip me out of my quarter life crisis and prove again that my mom knows me a little bit better than i'm comfortable with. also, there are some awesome sex on the beach scenes. Its called 'the last summer of you and me.' read it.
some of my fav quotes from the book...
"The chief frustration of romantic love was that you couldn't make it go by yourself."
"Step up. take your life. its waiting for you!"
"But his capacity for hope, like hers, was irrational and unending."
"In some sense, she was never really anywhere. She was happiest, Paul suspected, in transit, where the past was untouchable and the present was negligible. And she would be, he guessed, for as long as she kept believing that the future would be better."
"You could spend the rest of your life longing for a single idealized moment that may not have even happened."
and the best one for me...
"Maybe there was no gap, no jump, no chasm. You didn't forget yourself all at once. Maybe you just looked around one time or another and you thought, 'hey.' And there you were."
