Gayle Forman
Image
But seventeen is an inconvenient time to fall in love.
Gayle Forman

And I kissed him back so hard, like I was trying to merge our bodies through our lips.
Gayle Forman
Image
In the middle of L.A.'s sunny non-winter, I need to sit in a dark closet to feel right.
Gayle Forman
Image
Something special is ending, and you're sad, but you can't be that said because, hey, it was good while it lasted, and there'll be other vacations, other good times.
Gayle Forman

He can't possibly live up to the person you've built him to be
Gayle Forman
Image
I know that all the magic kisses in the world probably couldn't have helped him today. But I would do anything to have been able to give him one.
Gayle Forman
Image
No one is who they pretend to be
Gayle Forman
Image
And something tells me if it matters, maybe it shouldn't be easy.
Gayle Forman
Image
But I'd do it again. I know that now. I'd make that promise a thousand times over and lose her a thousand times over to have heard her play last night or to see her in the morning sunlight. Or even without that. Just to know that she's somewhere out there. Alive.
