“I love her.”
He squeezed the back of his neck, shaking his head. “Will you still love her in a year? In two years?”
“I’ve loved her since we were fifteen. It’s never going away.”
“LJ and his completely platonic but always around him best friend had been practically joined at the hip since they’d arrived at Fulton U.”
Tonight, I’d hold her in my arms. Tomorrow, I’d figure out how to deal with being in love with the coach’s daughter.
Sometimes it felt like I could disappear and no one would really care. It felt like I was a temporary fixture in someone’s life until they moved on. But with LJ I felt like I mattered—always.

”i’ve loved you from as far back as i can remember.”
4.5 stars. my heart is so full. for me, this was easily the best book in the entire series and everything you’d expect a childhood bestfriends to lovers book to be! the plot in this book was also the strongest compared to the other fulton u books. reading about marisa’s childhood story, her relationship with her parents and how it gave her this fear of abandonment made me really emotional. but the romance in this book takes the cake. marisa and lj’s shared history together, them making sacrifices for each other, being so supportive of each other’s dreams, their angst in the end, etc. i love them so much. this book was definitely worth the wait. also i loved the hints this book dropped for keyton’s second chance romance, i’m so excited to meet his love interest and read his book.
“When the choice presented itself to do something with or without LJ, there was a hands down, no contest, clear winner.
He was my rock, and the one person I could count on to have my back”
"Third time was the charm, right?"
“I love you, Marisa.” This wasn’t the first time he’d said it, but this time it felt different. It felt heart-stoppingly, soul-scorchingly different.
