“Trust, truly, is the sharpest of all the double-edged blades of human emotions. And it cuts the deepest.”

“Only a curse can do that to a body. To twist it like a rag and have her swallow her own tongue.”

“Revenge is the yoke, Katalonan, that anchored you to your grief.”

“A string made of brass is strong but will not make the kite soar.”

“Soft weapons can be as effective, and at times, more devastating than steel.”

“The best motivation to learn how to swim is the threat of drowning...“

“Life has more plateaus than peaks and valley, and I'm afraid that a commitment made at the height of an extreme emotion will not give us a lifelong foundation. I refuse to build my future on such shaky ground.“

The Keeper | Oz G. Mari

“And this grieved her — the premature death of her potential. The wasting of her life.“

“I've always had a choice, but never thought of taking the step to claim it.“

“Is this how she lived her life? Like a butterfly trapped in a glass jar, slowly suffocating from the lack of oxygen.“

“This child-woman in his keeping became his keeper. He was supposed to save her, yet she became his saviour.“

“How would Roald deal with the knowledge that the object of his childhood nightmares is two hundred fifty million strong, and he has been living among them?“

The idea always struck me as scary.

“It was bemusing to hear her talk about death and sending a body to eternal rest, while her presence was electrifying.“

“With his left arm still around her, a possessive hand rested at the low of her spine. He glanced down at her. His eyes told her that no words could convey the depth of his feelings for her. “

“You had the benefit of anger to cushion the blows, I didn‘t. I had guilt.“

Some lines my editor loved in the book.

Spare | Prince Harry the Duke of Sussex
Pickpick

I read this and listened to the audiobook simultaneously, which made for a more engaging experience. The book disarmed me. You can feel, almost taste, how much Harry adored his wife & kids, that one could not help but root for them. The book was also a study of human behaviour. About how the Royal Family operates, why they behave as they do. Spare was beautifully written. Harry as the narrator for the audiobook was perfect. I highly recommend it.
