"For my father, who tried his very best not to be his worst. And for my mother, who made sure we never saw him at his worst."

Prologue

“As his daughter, I loved him. But as a human, I hated him.”

Chapter 1, Page 14

“Not a lot of people have the courage to say what they’re actually thinking. Naked truths aren’t always pretty.”

Chapter 1, Page 16

“We’d just been two people who helped each other when we needed it and got our hearts fused together along the way.”

Chapter 17, Page 213

“It’s not a person’s actions that hurt the most. It’s the love. If there was no love attached to the action, the pain would be a little easier to bear.”

Chapter 30, Page 321

“Preventing your heart from forgiving someone you love is actually a hell of a lot harder than simply forgiving them.”

Chapter 15, Page 199

“And as hard as this choice is, we break the pattern before the pattern breaks us.”

Chapter 18, Page 231

“In the future, if by some miracle you ever find yourself in the position to fall in love again... fall in love with me.”

Chapter 22, Page 285

"My mother went through it.I went through it. I'll be damned if I allow my daughter to go through it. I kiss her on the forehead and make her a promise. 'It stops here. With me and you. It ends with us.”

Epilogue

LILY BLOOM

"Cycles exist because they are excruciating to break. It takes an astronomical amount of pain and courage to disrupt a familiar pattern. Sometimes it seems easier to just keep running in the same familiar circles, rather than facing the fear of jumping and possibly not landing on your feet.”

RYLE KINCAID

“Shouldn’t there be more distaste in our mouths for the abusers than for those who continue to love the abusers?”

ATLAS CORRIGAN

“And us humans, we can’t expect to shoulder all of our pain. Sometimes we have to share it with the people who love us so we don’t come crashing down from the weight of it all.”

THE MOMENT I LEAST ENJOYED

“All humans make mistakes. What determines a person’s character aren’t the mistakes we make. It’s how we take those mistakes and turn them into lessons rather than excuses.”

Chapter 14, Page 192

ABOUT THE BOOK

“It’s easy when we’re on the outside to believe that we would walk away without a second thought if a person mistreated us. It’s easy to say we couldn’t continue to love someone who mistreats us when we aren’t the ones feeling the love of that person. When you experience it firsthand, it isn’t so easy to hate the person who mistreats you when most of the time they’re your godsend.”

Chapter 33, Page 341
