So I just wanted to tell you that I understand if you go. It's okay if you have to leave us. It's okay if you want to stop fighting.
Gayle Forman
Because for that day, I really did become Lulu. Maybe not from the film or the real Louise Brooks, but my own idea of what Lulu represented. Freedom. Daring. Adventure. Saying yes.
Gayle Forman

Gayle Forman
Then I smell the sweat on him, a clean musky scent that I'd bottle and wear as perfume if I could.
Gayle Forman
It feels like the city is telling secrets down here, privy only to those who think to listen.
