Someone once wrote that a novel should deliver a series of small astonishments. I get the same thing spending an hour with you.

It is better to be alone, she figures, than to be with someone who can't see who you are. It is better to lead than to follow. It is better to speak up than stay silent. It is better to open doors than to shut them on people. She will not be simple and sweet. She will not be what people tell her to be. That Bunny Rabbit is dead.

I know they're not getting divorced or anything, but when your parents argue it makes the whole universe seem like it's tipping, like everything could change if they got mad enough at each other, like the world isn't a safe place. And of course, that's true, isn't it? The world is not a safe place.

She doesn't feel like crying anymore.

Image
...a box where she was expected to be sweet and sensitive (but not oversensitive) a box for young and pretty girls who were not as bright or powerful as their boyfriends. A box for people who were not forces to be reckoned with.

What if we could stop being different colors, different backgrounds, and just be in love?
E. Lockhart
Image
It shattered something inside me that hadn't been broken before.

Image
My problem is I can think whatever I think—girl power, solidarity, Gloria Steinem rah rah rah — but I still feel the way I feel. Which is jealous. And pissy about little things.

The universe is seeming really huge right now. I need something to hold on to.

Get over it, Roo. If you have friends who actually like you, you’re popular enough.

I don't know if there is a one for me. I think I might like variety.

Absorbing the fact that sometimes, people do cut you slack and forgive you and want you anyway. Sometimes they do. And when they do, even if it's not a happy ending, it is delicious
