Teens in the '90s had the same basic desires as they do now.
Jay Asher
God, I am freaking out. Maybe he doesn’t know. Maybe I just look guilty of something and he’s picking up on that.
Jay Asher
We didn't get that chance because I was afraid. Afraid I had no chance with you.
Jay Asher
When the right moment appears, the key is to not let it pass.
Jay Asher
That's why you did it. You wanted your world to collapse around you. You wanted everything to get as dark as possible.

We both laugh. And it feels good. A release. Like laughing at a funeral. Maybe inappropriate, but definitely needed.
Jay Asher
If my love were an ocean, there would be no more land. If my love were a desert, you would see only sand. If my love were a star- late at night, only light. And if my love could grow wings, I'd be soaring in flight.
Jay Asher

Jay Asher
I needed a break... from myself.
Jay Asher
I repeat his words in my head. What's going on? What's going on? Oh, well, since you asked, I got a bunch of tapes in the mail today from a girl who killed herself. Apparently, I had something to do with it. I'm not sure what that is, so I was wondering if I could borrow your Walkman to find out. 'Not much,' I say.
Jay Asher
Maybe it's not as important to you as it was for me, but that's not for you to decide.
Jay Asher
And here he is again, yet things feel like they'll never be as easy between us as they once were.
Jay Asher
The road to publication is like a churro - long and bumpy, but sweet.
Jay Asher
I hope you're ready, because I'm about to tell you the story of my life. More specifically, why my life ended. And if you're listening to these tapes, you're one of the reasons why.
Jay Asher
How in the world was I alone? Because I wanted to be. That's all I can say. It's all that makes sense to me.
Jay Asher
I sat. And I thought. And the more I thought, connecting the events in my life, the more my heart collapsed.
Jay Asher
Everything seemed good, but I knew it had the potential to be awful.
Jay Asher
But sometimes there’s nothing left to do but move on.
Jay Asher
That’s when I said it. That’s when I whispered to her, “I’m so sorry.” Because inside, I felt so happy and sad at the same time. Sad that it took me so long to get there. But happy that we got there together.
Jay Asher
The longer you wait, and this is true, the slower the hands will move.
