My Book Boyfriend is an awesome weekly meme hosted by Missie at The Unread Reader, all about fictional boys who make us swoon. If you've been reading my blog at all this week, it'll come as no surprise that I'm currently obsessing over Adam Wilde from If I Stay and Where She Went by Gayle Forman.
About Adam
- He's a hopelessy romantic, grand-gesture, do-anything-for-love kind of guy. He invests everything in love - so when he loses it, he's utterly crushed.
- He's obsessed with music, and is a guitar-playing, singing, song-writing rock god.
- He's a gentleman at heart, even if his depression leads him to act in a different way at times.
- His eyes are flecked with green, brown and grey, and he has a lopsided smile. He's thin but built, and has some subtle tattoos.
- To me, Adam looks like Darren Criss.
 |
| "Please Mia," he implores. "Don't make me write a song." |
 |
| "Whenever I remember it, I just picture our tent, a little ship glowing in the night, the sounds of Mia’s and my whispers escaping like musical notes, floating out on a moonlit sea." |
 |
| "I suddenly want to hear her bones rattle. I want to feel the softness of her flesh give, to hear her gasp as my hip bone jams into her. I want to yank her head back until her neck is exposed. I want to rip my hands through her hair until her breath is labored. I want to make her cry and then lick up the tears. And then I want to take my mouth to hers, to devour her alive, to transmit all the things she can’t understand." |
 |
| "You don’t share me. You own me." |
 |
"'Your place is right here,'" I whispered, laying down and hugging her close. |
 |
| "Hate me. Devastate me. Annihilate me. Re-create me. Re-create me. Won't you, won't you won't you re-create me." |
 | |
| "I can't wrap my mind around the notion of you not getting old, having kids, going to Juilliard, getting to play that cello in front of a huge audience, so that they can get chills the way I do every time I see you pick up your bow, every time I see you smile at me." |

I LOVE Adam! I keep meaning to do him for a Book Boyfriend but haven't found the right picture yet. I really like the guy you have choosen. And those quotes make me want to go re-read WSW again :)
ReplyDeleteI'm sure whoever you chose would be amazing - you have a knack for finding the HOTTEST pictures ;) There are so many awesome quotes, I could have gone on but I had to stop myself.
ReplyDeleteI loved to have Adam rattle my bones! Great quotes and yummy guy.

eeeeeeeep! So, I still haven't read these books. They wait patiently for me on my shelf. However, I'm way excited to picture Darren as Adam. :)
ReplyDeleteWait till you read the book! There's so much more to swoon over! I just devoured them both over two nights - they're pretty great. Not only is Adam amazing, but so is Mia and all the other characters. People have been telling me to read them for ages so I'm going to turn around and do the same - go read them now! ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great choice! I haven't read Where She Went yet, but I loved Adam in If I Stay. One of the best guys ever.
ReplyDeleteI've been hearing non-stop great reviews on If I Stay and Where She Went and now I'm bumping that up on my TBR pile! Thanks for sharing. Adam is YUM!
ReplyDeleteYES!!! I love grand gesture Adam! It's hard to cast him. I've tried. But I think you did a great job!
ReplyDeleteOh man! I have the first on my tbr thanks to the lovely Missie, but haven't gotten to it just yet. Adam looks great. I can't wait to meet him!!
ReplyDeleteI love this! I haven't read the second installment but I fell in love in the first. Very good choice. :O)
ReplyDeleteI can't believe I haven't commented on this.. I LOVE Adam Wilde. I am obsessed with him and wish he was real!
ReplyDeleteIt's so great to know that so many people are in love with these two books. and especially- Adam!!
ReplyDeleteI fell for If I stay at first sight and was working hard on finishing where she went. Love the quote you chose :^)
