Last first kiss by @julianwinters.bsky.social was a beautiful story about second chances, childhood friends, and a lot of firsts with many cute and sweet moments. A little bit of spice & a lot of heart. Absolutely loved it! It was a great companion follow up book to I think they love you 5⭐️ #BookSky

And when he finishes the story, Jordan hopes it goes like this:
Jamie Noah Peters was his last first everything.
The beginning and end to every moment Jordan loves most.”- last first kiss by Julian winters #BookQuotes #BookSky (4/4)

... He might skim over what happened in Jamie's Jeep, in Jamie's shower, in Jamie's bed. But he'll include the fights and misunderstandings.
Because that's what love is like—a puzzle. You need every
piece to see the full picture.
(3/4)

He's the first man—the first person-Jordan ever felt something intimate for. Something so big and consuming and oddly comfort-ing, he couldn't put a name to it. Until he did.
Love.
He won't leave out the part about the pot brownies.(2/4)

“He's not afraid to show anyone how in love he is with Jamie.
How he's always been in love with him.
When Jordan Carter tells his family the story of how he met
his first love, it'll start a little something like this:
Jamie Noah Peters was his first kiss. His first crush?
His first boyfriend.(1/4)

“When Jamie kisses him back, with tongue and longing and gentleness, it's better than winning. Better than being the best at everything.
It's like waking up from a bad dream and knowing you're not alone. That someone's right next to you. Without question or reason.”-last first kiss by Julian winters

“‘I’m learning that identity is funny and strange and, sometimes, confusing,’ Jordan says in that same soft voice. ‘Sometimes, you know when you're young. Sometimes, it happens later.
Sometimes, never. But it's okay to take your time.’” - last first kiss by Julian winters #BookQuotes #BookSky

…‘I’m yours. If you want me.’
…
‘Because I want you,’ Jordan adds. ‘Your bad dancing and rom-com obsessions and cheating at Mario Kart. I want all of you.’” -last first kiss by Julian winters #BookQuotes #BookSky (2/2)

“‘There is no ‘right’ person for me,’…’There’s just the man I love. Easily. Naturally.’
…
‘I don’t know how to love anyone like I love you, Jamie.’
…
‘You don’t have to chase that feeling anymore. I’m right here.’ (1/2)

‘Kissing you is like—‘ Jordan's voice breaks. ‘Like knowing
I'll never be alone again.’" - last first kiss by Julian winters (2/2) #BookSky #BookQuotes

"’Kissing you is like... like sitting in your pajamas watching movies all day. It''s like soup when you re sick. Like being high-so fucking high.’ A laugh bubbles in his chest. ‘Jamie it's a rush and it's comfort and it's home.’ … (1/2)

“But he's starting to believe heartbreak doesn't want words. It doesn't want platitudes or motivational quotes or by-the-book solutions.
It wants you to feel the pain, the loss.
If you never experience the ache, how will you ever heal from
it?”-last first kiss by Julian winters #BookQuotes #BookSky

Oof! This hits hard. Thank you Braylon! And @julianwinters.bsky.social for those words!

"’I can promise you, Jordan,’ Braylon says, ‘whatever you're feeling is real. Even if you can't explain it. Or don't have a proper name for it. It's real. Let it be real. Not for anyone else. Just yourself.’" - last first kiss by Julian winters #BookQuotes #BookSky

Wow that was so rude mentioning the game in the middle of a cute first date!!
Sorry not sorry to anyone who’s reading this. If I had to lose so did you! 🖤

“‘…I got into this spiral in my head, like you know when you’re trying not to think of something, so you do.’
‘Oh man’ — Kit made a frustrated gesture — ‘I just lost the game.’” - looking for group by Alexis hall #BookQuotes #BookSky

“‘I just want some peace.’
His eyes finally reach Jordan’s again.
Jordan doesn’t look away.
Gently, Jamie says, ‘You’re my peace, Jordan.’” - last fist kiss by Julian winters #BookQuotes #BookSky

“I frown in the direction of the sound, wondering who the hell thinks one o’clock on a Saturday afternoon is a good time to stop by unannounced. This is prime nap time. What if I were napping?”- accidently yours by Christina Lauren #BookQuotes #BookSky

“Plus, I wouldn’t even know what to do with him if I got him.
How often would I have to walk him? What do you feed abs like that?” - a play for love by Trilina Pucci #BookQuotes #BookSky

“Two days since he met Sloane. The woman Jamie’s been on a “few dates” with.
But he’s cool. Not at all pouting like a fussy toddler in need of a juice box.” - last first kiss by Julian Winters #BookQuotes #BookSky

For reference the book is the bar code tattoo by Suzanne weyn. Published in 2004 and takes place in 2025

It’s so weird reading an older dystopian book that’s set in the future at the time it was published but at the time of reading it it’s actually your past. Trippy!
