    Summary

    A terribly stubborn, mildly (at best) egotistical man happens to meet a girl just as hard headed as he is, who can't help but bite every time he fishes for attention.
    "Don't set me a challenge if you aren't prepared to have it beaten."

    Summary

    ‘You take up all my attention, without even trying.’ They were clumsy, unfiltered words, but he still comfortably held my gaze. A voice in my head urged: touch me. Please, so I know I’m not imagining this. Touch me and make it real.

    Wary of the decadence and skewed morals that her burgeoning music career might impose upon her, Joanna feels out of place at the rite-of-passage Notting Hill party her new manager has invited her to, until she encounters Matty - practically an old hand in the business, but sweetly untouched by their strange surroundings. As the venues get bigger and the radio plays rack up, the instincts and values Joanna used to cling to don't guide her as well as they used to, and it becomes increasingly difficult to know what her friendship with Matty is really about.

    Summary

    “Well, she says beauty brings copies of itself into being. That it makes us draw it, take photographs of it, describe it to other people—it has a forward momentum. And I always thought that that was a sort of—superficial, I guess—way of putting it. But I feel that when I’m with you. Almost like I want to savour you up so that the minute you’re gone there’s still some of you left.”

    From meeting in a second-hand bookshop in central Manchester, Este and Matty begin exchanging questionable (and pretentious) book recommendations and flourish an alluring interest in one another.

    Summary

    “Anyways, all I said was that it’s a totally incongruous day for a birthday.”

    It takes Armie several seconds to unpack that sentence, mostly because the four syllables of incongruous lilted in Timmy’s French-y, Manhattan-y voice make him want to laugh and cry and kiss him all at once. Timothée is casually smarter and more at ease with (three!) languages than Armie will ever be.

    “Why?” Armie asks, persistent if nothing else.

    “Just...the holidays, man.” Timothée’s voice has this measured, patient quality to it like he knows Armie is being dumb but won’t call him out on it. “Everyone’s over it all by now. Shit, I’m over it. Christmas was two days ago.”

    I’m not over it, is what Armie wants to say. I’d fly from LA to show up tonight with a bottle of champagne and some sexy fucking jewelry in a goddamn gift bag for you if you’d be okay with it.
