Before I post my top ten lines, I want you to know that it was extremely hard for me to not post the entire book on here. Nikki's got a way with words and can make anything sound beautiful! So, I had to pick just ten. Some of these don't seem impactful, but trust me, they are in context! Others, I just really liked! :)
I cringe and wish there was a way I could slip in between the couch cushions to the land of lost pennies, dust bunnies, and bread crumbs.
“Since Aralie won’t marry you, I guess you can be my dog,” she says. (Emery to Jules)
Hours later, Aralie compares the bug zapper to an electric chair for mosquitoes. (< Totally a comparison I would make!)
That’s like…” Emery pauses and looks at me. Then she looks back at Paige and Lauren. “It’s like when you tattle on someone because they are naked in your sister’s room. Then you get in trouble for tattling, but the naked person doesn’t get in trouble for being naked.”
Noah walks over to me with one arm outstretched.
“Did you completely die inside without us?” he asks, pulling me into a one-armed hug.
“I did,” Emery answers. “Chloe only did sometimes.”
Then Emery says exactly what we’re all thinking.
“Uh oh. Here comes a scarf.”
“But here’s the thing,” he says. “I may bleed every single day for the world, but I bleed the most for you.”
“My wish is for you to be my firefly,” I say. “After lockdown ends, we’ll only see each other in moments, for short flickers of time.”
“And it’ll always make us smile,” Milo says.
It may be summer, but I’m thankful for that sliver of winter.
And then there’s an ever-familiar flutter.
Make sure you guys get the book in TWO DAYS!! and read these lines in context for yourself!! :)
The summer after graduation is supposed to be that first real taste of freedom - but not for eighteen-year-old Chloe Branson. Just as that breeze of freedom is making its way into her galaxy, her secret-service-agent dad drops a meteor-sized bomb of bad news on her and her sisters. An attempt has been made on the lives of Canadian boyband, Spaceships Around Saturn, during their USA tour, and the guys have to go into hiding ASAP. The only problem? In the midst of the crisis and media frenzy, their dad volunteered to hide the guys...in their house.
Six-year-old Emery is as ecstatic as any self-proclaimed Saturnite would be, but Chloe and her seventeen-year-old sister Aralie watch their summer plans crash and burn like a falling star. The SAS guys aren't happy with the situation, either. Bad boy Jules picks fights with Aralie about everything from his Twitter followers to his laundry, and heart-throb Benji can't escape Emery's fangirlisms for more than three minutes.
But after the super-cute Milo kisses Chloe during a game of hide-and-seek, she finally understands what Emery means when she talks about SAS being "out of this world." If this is what Saturn feels like, Chloe doesn't want to come back to Earth.
