Gli esami ci stanno ammazzando e leggere sembra essere diventato un lusso da concedersi per pochi minuti al giorno. Riuscire a trovare un nuovo libro da cui trarre il Teaser ogni settimana si sta rivelando più complicato del previsto. Kia, che doveva pubblicare oggi, non è riuscita ad iniziare un nuovo libro, allora vi propongo uno spezzone di uno di quelli che ho letto io. La settimana scorsa non riuscivo a dormire e ho dovuto fare 4 ore di treno in due giorni (totalmente inaspettate), quindi ne ho approfittato per leggere un po’.
Non so se è il vostro genere di libro, ma se pensate vi possa interessare, provate a leggerlo, ne vale la pena.
“Morgan seems very pleasant.” She kept her face lowered as she spoke. Theo thought for a moment before speaking. “He argues a lot. He can’t cook. He’s as messy as hell. Sometimes he’ll say the opposite of what he believes just to test you. He’s slow to trust but quick to offer help. He has the hugest heart, and he’ll support people—complete strangers—who might turn around and hurt him. Sometimes he’s a little shit, usually right when he needs someone to lean on.” His mom stopped grating, looking up, her mouth open in a perfect O. “You might as well know right from the start, Mom. I have no idea what will happen between us. I have no idea how long we’ll last or if he even wants something long-term with me. But you need to know this: I want him in my life for as long as he’ll have me.” He sat opposite her, wrapping his hands around her bowl of cheese to stop them from shaking. “He’s younger than me. A lot younger than me.” He snorted, then added, “He thinks he knows more than me about everything.” He lowered his voice. “I think he’s probably right.” “Theo….” “No, Mom. Don’t say anything. I just had to tell you. It’s not like I’m a kid anymore, right? I’m old enough to make my own mistakes. I always was, and I’m more than old enough to recognize a good thing when I see it.” He watched her lips tighten. She looked up, her dark gray eyes mirror images of his own. “I think you have a pretty good track record of choosing well, Theo.” She wrapped her fingers around his. They sat in silence until the timer pinged. Chapter 19 – AFTER BEN di Con Riley
