Many a teen has imagined a kiss . . . the anticipation, the warmth, the heart-pounding passion of young love. Few take time to think about the end of a kiss. It’s why this quote stands out. The end was as impactful as the beginning. A fantastic description.
It’s early in the year, but I think The Nightingale will be one of my favorite 2024 reads. Kristin Hannah places some beautiful and descriptive lines within a poignant plot fleshed out with engaging characters. If you’ve not read any Hannah, I’d recommend her work (especially The Nightingale)! Check her out in GoodReads!
