Jay Asher
Image
That's why you did it. You wanted your world to collapse around you. You wanted everything to get as dark as possible.
Jay Asher
Image
And as I stood there in the hallway―alone―trying to understand what had just happened and why, I realized the truth: I wasn't worth an explanation―not even a reaction. Not in your eyes.

If I had a chance with him, I missed it. No, I didn't miss it. I threw it away.
Jay Asher
Image
Because I've heard so many stories that I don't know which one is the most popular. But I do know which is the least popular. The truth.
