The Chase

Feels like longing, wonder and dread. About love, time and memory.
A page from the book
The same fire that once burned bras now fuels the comments section.
We live in a society where too many women tear each other down instead of raising each other up. That’s absurd to me. We need to empower one another, teach future generations of girls that it’s important to stand together. Once upon a time, we had a common goal and a common enemy. We were burning bras, and fighting for the right to vote.Now we’re body shaming each other on social media and blaming the mistress if our man cheats. Elle Kennedy.The Chase is the first Briar U book, a spin-off of Elle Kennedy’s Off-Campus series; both follow hockey players at the same fictional New England university.

Rock bottom is not the end of the climb
Just when you think you’ve hit rock bottom, when you don’t think there’s any way you could climb the mountain again to find happiness, you stumble across a trail, one that has its bumps and bruises, but offers a gorgeous outcome.
A Not So Meet Cute · Meghan Quinn
What do you bring someone who has all of time?
I want to be a body for you. I want to chase you, find you, I want to be eluded and teased and adored; I want to be defeated and victorious—I want you to cut me, sharpen me. I want to drink tea beside you in ten years or a thousand. Flowers grow far away on a planet they’ll call Cephalus, and these flowers bloom once a century, when the living star and its black-hole binary enter conjunction.I want to fix you a bouquet of them, gathered across eight hundred thousand years, so you can draw our whole engagement in a single breath, all the ages we’ve shaped together.
This Is How You Lose the Time War · Amal El-Mohtar
What it sounds like to wait eleven years without making it an accusation.
I’ve been waiting for you to come home for eleven years. I’ll go anywhere you go.
Love and Other Words · Christina Lauren
