The Final Gambit

Jennifer Lynn Barnes

Top 10 Best Quotes

“Sometimes you have an idea of a person — about who they are, about what you'd be like together. But sometimes that's all that it is: an idea. And for so long, I have been afraid that I loved the idea of Emily more than I will ever be capable of loving anyone real.” He looked at me like the act of doing so was painful and sweet. “It was never just the idea of you, Avery.”

“The only person I trust with all that I am and all that could be, Heiress, is you.”

“I love you. I would die to protect you. I would make you hate me to keep you safe because damn it, Avery—some things are too precious to gamble.”

“Grayson told me. “I wanted her to be you.” “Don’t say that,” I whispered. He looked at me one last time. “There are so many things that I will never say.”

“I don't do vulnerable," Thea retorted. "It clashes with my bitch aesthetic.”

“The world is the board, Heiress. We just have to keep rolling the dice.”

“I don’t believe in destiny or fate—I believe in choice. Love wasn’t just a choice—it was dozens, hundreds, thousands of choices. Every day was a choice.”

“Everything's a game. Avery Grambs. The only thing we get to decide in life is if we play to win.”

“Hit me with all those thinky thoughts,”

“But sometimes a person’s brain starts cycling. No matter what you do, the same thoughts just keep repeating, over and over. You get stuck in a loop, and when you’re inside that loop, you can’t see past it. You’ll keep coming up with the same possibilities, to no end, because the answers you need—they’re outside the loop. Distractions aren’t just distractions. Sometimes they can break you out of the loop.”
