Gayle Forman
If these walls could talk, I wonder what secrets they'd tell.
Gayle Forman
Suddenly, it's all too much. Bryn and the bump watch. Vanessa with my high school yearbook. The idea that nothing's sacred. Everything's fodder. That my life belongs to anyone but me.
Gayle Forman

Gayle Forman
Because you don’t ever find things when you’re looking for them. You find them when you’re not.” “If that were true, nobody would ever find their keys.
Gayle Forman
Someone wake me when it's over When the evening silence softens golden Just lay me on bed of dover Oh, I need help with this burden Hush
Gayle Forman
Sacrifice, that's what we do for the people we love.
Gayle Forman
I don't know who I am. Or maybe I do know who I am and I just don't want to be her anymore.
Gayle Forman
This is myself, baby. All of my selves. I own each and every one of them. I know who I'm pretending to be and who I am. The look he gives me is withering. Do you?
Gayle Forman
No one is who they pretend to be
Gayle Forman
...no way through it but through it, I tell myself.
Gayle Forman
Willem holds my wrist for a long moment, looking at that birthmark. Then he lifts it to his mouth. And though his lips are soft and his kiss is gentle, it feels like a knife jamming into the electrical socket. It feels like the moment when I go live
