#6yearsofRWRB Chapter 15!
Let's pretend I didn't take five days off. (I had a jam-packed weekend. 🫣)
This is a great chapter but this moment between Nora and Alex and his insecurity and her certainty - it's so fucking beautiful. I love him realizing that he likes who he is, as changed as he is. 💕
the SUBTEXT of the house, "nothing's changed inside, just been boxed up" hmm kind of like Alex himself? Letting the parts of him out of the boxes?
"We won" in MORE WAYS THAN ONE
"Yeah. We won"
AND SO DID WE ALL FOR THIS BOOK BEING IN EXISTENCE!

Thanks for coming on this journey
Also Spencer seems like a good guy. I'm glad Liam has him.
I hate that Liam's parents were stupidly conservative but I'm hc that Spencer's parents unofficially adopted him into the family.
Everyone seems to be "annoyed but fond" when it comes to Alex. Love that.

Oscar is so proud when CA goes to Claremont! Big damn heroes!
Henry fixing June's hair, the casual intimacy of it showing that they're close friends. I am a Henry-June sibling truther. Alex grinning at his two favorite people.

#6YearsOfRWRB chapter "Henry" ♥️🤍👑💙
"You and me."
"You and me."
Let's face it - if we could just copy the whole thing here no one would make a peep 😅🤭
And that's a wrap, friends!! Thank you @ninergrl6.bsky.social for organizing and everyone for participating - LOVED reading all of your thoughts!!!
THANK YOU to everyone who participated in #6YearsOfRWRB ‼️ I’m not a “name” in this fandom so I wasn’t sure if anyone would jump on board with my idea, but y’all embraced it & ran with it. I’ve had so much fun celebrating our pink book together. CMQ’s original acknowledgments say it all 🤗♥️🤍💙

And with that, we're finished with #6YearsofRWRB. Thank you @ninergrl6.bsky.social for organizing everything. It was lots of fun.
Plus, seeing Alex and Henry plan out their future is so sweet.
"You and me."
"You and me."

Bonus chapter time. I love getting something from Henry's perspective. There's so much goodness. Love seeing everyone's dynamics.

Henry’s chapter:
❤️ Henry and his quiche!
🤍 Love getting a glimpse into their adventures!
👑 LOVE this part, falling in love in every universe, the different versions of who they are!
💙 Thinking about their future, and how the “you and me” echos “we won” 💕
#6YearsOfRWRB
Chapter 15: so many memorable moments!
❤️ Henry is funny, good to see him teasing Alex and laughing at his own joke!
🤍 Love Alex seeing Henry’s affectionate look!
👑 So sweet and thoughtful of Henry to wear this tie!
💙 They made it after everything they’ve been through 💕
HE STOOD NEXT TO THE STAGE SET INTO THE HILLSIDE OF ZILKER AND LOOKED INTO EYES UPON EYES UPON EYES OF WOMEN WHO WERE OLD ENOUGH TO HAVE MARCHED ON CONGRESS FOR THE VRA IN '65 AND GIRLS YOUNG ENOUGH NEVER TO HAVE KNOWN A PRESIDENT WHO WAS A WHITE MAN. ALL OF THEM LOOKING AT THEIR FIRST MADAM PRESIDENT. AND HE TURNED AND LOOKED AT JUNE AT HIS RIGHT SIDE AND NORA AT HIS LEFT, AND HE DISTINCTLY REMEMBERS PUSHING THEM OUT ONTO THE STAGE AHEAD OF HIM, GIVING THEM A FULL THIRTY SECONDS OF SOAKING IT IN BEFORE FOLLOWING THEM INTO THE SPOTLIGHT.
#6YearsOfRWRB ch. 15 (a day late)
Watched the movie when it came out, but didn’t read the book until November. It was my escape from current events (a world with the 1st female president *sigh*). This is my 4th time reading since November, and this chapter still made me tear up multiple time.
#6YearsOfRWRB Henry’s chapter ♥️🤍💙
The ebook I checked out from my library isn’t the collectors edition, so I had to go old school and take a picture of my hard copy for today’s highlight. This page of Henry’s chapter epitomizes everything IMO.
We are officially at the end of #6yearsofRWRB reread with excerpts of Henry's chapter , aka my lifeline. (I wanted to post the entire chapter but alas!)
1. "Alex, Alex, Alex"- the first summer; the rest of his life.
2. Henry's type 🫣
3. Where they overlap
4. Perhaps my fav bit in the whole book.
Thank you @ninergrl6.bsky.social for organising the #6YearsOfRWRB challenge, it's been such fun!
Loved getting the chance to revisit and highlight my fave parts, but most of all, seeing everyone else's choices and annotations 💖
#6YearsOfRWRB - I don't want it to end, it's been such a wonderful ride!
Henry's chapter: If only I could pick everything...
1. Henry learning to cook with his own little apron is the cutest 🥹
2. Always Alex ❤️🔥
3. Full circle on New Year's 😭
4. Love is acceptance, understanding, care and support ❤️
"Nora is like Henry sometimes, in that she can cut right down to the truth of things, but Henry deals in heart and Nora deals in facts." And that's why Alex needs them both in his life. Two people that aren't blood that love him unconditionally.
#6YearsofRWRB
Like. He's still Pip. He hasn't had a personality transplant. But instead of being the bully, he's trying to be a brother. He's putting in the work, and that's all we can ask for. This is why I think there's a redemption in his future. He can be a better person going forward.
#6YearsofRWRB
It always surprises me to see Bea described as having a ponytail in this scene bc for no reason I always pictured her as having a bob haircut. Nothing in the text has ever pointed to this. Anyway, I appreciate her setting up for her event herself. Hands-on. The people's princess!

#6YearsofRWRB Ch 15!
Catherine is BACK! I love her. It sucks that it took *gestures* all this to bring her back from the depths of grief & that it took so many years to do so, but the feisty woman who defied the crown to marry an actor that she fell madly in love with is BACK & PRESENT for her kids
#6YearsOfRWRB Henry’s chapter
❤️🤍💙
The perfect New Year’s for the perfect couple. 🥂🍆🍑
THANK YOU to my dear friend @ninergrl6.bsky.social for posting about this anniversary reread. I have loved every second of it! 🩷

#6YearsOfRWRB chapter 15 (cont'd) ♥️🤍👑💙
NOTHING'S GONNA STOP US NOW!!!!
🔑💍
“We won.”
“Yeah. We won.”
#6YearsOfRWRB chapter 15 ♥️🤍👑💙
Processing trauma with Nora, slowing down for a minute and choosing a different path, addressing the crowd, yellow roses, backyard shooting range mofos, Henry is family now 🥹🥹🥹😭😭😭
Chapter 15. A perfect ending. Possible Philip redemption; the White House Trio thriving; Ellen taking Texas and winning the election; Alex and Henry planning their future. Love it.

Ch 14 catch-up
A quiet, personal moment with June and the Fox-Mountchristen-Windsors.
A very public moment shared with the world, that gives me chills every single time I read it or hear Alex speak the words.
