The Best Lines from RW&RB - An Opinion
This post is going to be super long, I would apologise but I’m not sorry. This book is exquisite for so many reasons…so let me count thy ways. Also this post took me such a long time to make, so I hope you like it! x
P.S: There are Major Spoilers - so please make sure to have read the book first! Also the page references are from the ebook, so I’m not sure if it will align with the actual book. I hope so!

Chapter One
Page 10
“Alex rolls his eyes, suddenly imagining twirling around a ballroom while Henry drones sweet nothings about croquet and fox hunting in his ear. The thought makes him want to gag. “In his dreams.”“Aw,” Nora says, “you’re blushing.”
Note: Alex, your BI is showing.
Page 11
“It’s trash turtles all the way down.
“”Is this your TED Talk?”” June asks.”
Note: tHANK yOU fOR cOMING tO mY tED tALK. Also I see you Casey and that suave Green reference.
Page 12
“…dull. He’s sure there won’t be this kind of turnout in front of the White House when he or June get married one day, nor would he even want it.”
Note: Love me a bit of foreshadowing (well I know it’s not official canon but we all know…right RIGHT!!!)

“Aw, little buddy,” Nora says. She reaches over and pats his hand. “It’s cute how you think everything is about you.”
“It should be, honestly.”
“That’s the spirit.”
Note: When it comes to Henry, Alex loses perspective of everything else.
Page 18
“Am I offending you? Sorry I’m not obsessed with you like everyone else. I know that must be confusing for you.”
“Do you know what?” Henry says. “I think you are.”
Alex’s mouth drops open, while the corner of Henry’s turns smug and almost a little mean. “
Only a thought,” Henry says, tone polite. “Have you ever noticed I have never once approached you and have been exhaustively civil every time we’ve spoken? Yet here you are, seeking me out again.” He takes a sip of his champagne. “Simply an observation.”
Note: MIC DROP. The first sign of the real Henry peeping through the cracks and he just takes Alex down. In one SWOOP LIKE THAT. Also YES, like completely obsessed.
