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

Life might take you down different roads. But each of you gets to decide which one to take.
Gayle Forman
Image
Leaving people to jumped conclusions is sometimes simpler than explaining a complicated truth
Gayle Forman
Image
And our lips. There isn't enough skin, enough spit, enough time, for the lost years that our lips are trying to make up for as they find each other. We kiss. The electric current switches to high. The lights throughout all of Brooklyn must be surging.
Gayle Forman
Image
All relationships are tough. Just like with music, sometimes you have harmony and other times you have cacophony.
Gayle Forman
Image
But then Mason touches my neck, to the spot on it where the cut from that night has since healed, and I pull away. He was right, after all it didn't leave a scar, though part of me wishes it had. At least I'd have some evidence, some justification of this permanence. Stains are even worse when you're the only one who can see them.

He can't possibly live up to the person you've built him to be
Gayle Forman
Image
I think everything is happening all the time, but if you don't put yourself in the path of it, you miss it. When you travel, you put yourself out there. It's not always great. Sometimes it's terrible. But other times ... [...] It's not so bad.
Gayle Forman
Image
It feels like the city is telling secrets down here, privy only to those who think to listen.
