Thirsty Thursday is a weekly feature, hosted by Nikki & Keira @ Lazy Book Lovers, where we discuss all things swoon-worthy: from quotes, book covers, book boyfriends, and even that worth-the-wait book kiss.
Boyfriend: Arin
Book: The Winner’s Curse by Marie Rutkoski
Swoon Quality: Bravery, Devotion
Why: I love that he’s willing to fight for a cause that he believes in. But at the same time, I also love that he recognizes the depth of his feelings for Kestrel and fights hard for that too. How he struggles to find the balance between these two was fascinating to read because the conflict is within himself, more than anything.
Note: I am terrible at casting book characters so I borrowed this casting of actor Matt Latner as Arin from Tee @ YA Crush.
That’s it for me for this week’s edition. Who or what are you featuring this Thirsty Thursday?
Don’t forget to check out Nikki’s and Keira’s picks are this week here. My good friend Lorn @ Pakwanstripes is also doing this feature. Check out her book boyfriend pick here.
Thank you for participating! I love this choice!

Swooning over Matt! I haven’t read The Winner’s Choice, but now I’m curious. Today’s picks are making me nostalgic for books of the past!
