10 Book Quotes from Book Lovers by. Emily Henry

I just read this book and honestly I highlighted a few sentences in them because they were really good or hit me in some way. Here are my favorites!

“That’s the thing about women. There’s no good way to be one. Wear your emotions on your sleeve and you’re hysterical. Keep them tucked away where your boyfriend doesn’t have to tend to them and you’re a heartless bitch.” – Emily Henry, Book Lovers

---

“Birth is a kind of death,” she says, rubbing her tummy. “Death of the self. Death of sleep. Death of your ability not to pee yourself a little when you laugh.” – Emily Henry, Book Lovers

---

“I’ve always considered myself an introvert, but the truth is I’m used to having people on all sides of me. You adapt to living life with a constant audience. It becomes comforting.” – Emily Henry, Book Lovers

---

“Maybe this is why people take trips, for that feeling of your real life liquefying around you, like nothing you do will tug on any other strand of your carefully built world.” – Emily Henry, Book Lovers

---

“It’s a feeling not unlike reading a really good book: all-consuming, worry-obliterating.” – Emily Henry, Book Lovers

---

“Sometimes, even when you start with the last page and you think you know everything, a book finds a way to surprise you.” – Emily Henry, Book Lovers

---

“The last-page ache. The deep breath in after you’ve set the book aside.” – Emily Henry, Book Lovers

---

“Somehow, it never occurred to me that this was an option: that two people, in the same hug, could both be allowed to fall apart. That maybe it’s neither of our jobs to keep a steel spine.” – Emily Henry, Book Lovers

---

“Maybe it’s possible to belong in a hundred different ways to a hundred different people and places.” – Emily Henry, Book Lovers

---

“Maybe love shouldn’t be built on a foundation of compromises, but maybe it can’t exist without them either. Not the kind that forces two people into shapes they don’t fit in, but the kind that loosens their grips, always leaves room to grow. Compromises that say, there will be a you-shaped space in my heart, and if your shape changes, I will adapt. No matter where we go, our love will stretch out to hold us, and that makes me feel like . . . like everything will be okay.” – Emily Henry, Book Lovers

Seriously…this book gave me so many feels, some triggers – I didn’t expect it to be emotional but I found myself relating so much! Have you read it yet?
