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.

More quotes by Jay Asher
I don't know exactly what it is, but it looks like interconnected websites where people show their photos and write about everything going on in their lives, like whether they found a parking spot or what they ate for breakfast. But why? Josh asks.
Jay Asher
And at some point, the struggle becomes too much-too tiring-and you consider letting go. Allowing tragedy... or whatever... to happen.
Jay Asher
Everything...affects everything
Jay Asher
It's important to be aware of how we treat others. Even though someone appears to shrug off a sideways comment or to not be affected by a rumor, it's impossible to know everything else going on in that person's life, how we might be adding to his/her pain. People do have an impact on the lives of others that's undeniable.
Jay Asher

Jay Asher
Because when you're posed, you know someone's watching. You put on your very best smile. You let your sweetest personality shine.
Jay Asher
When the right moment appears, the key is to not let it pass.
Jay Asher
Because what if I got to know you and you turned out to be just like they said? What if you weren’t the person I hoped you were? That, more than anything, would have hurt the most.
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
And everyone knows you can’t disprove a rumor.
Jay Asher
If time was a string connecting all of your stories, that party would be the point where everything knots up. And that knot keeps growing and growing, getting more and more tangled, dragging the rest of your stories into it.
Jay Asher
After all, how often do we get a second chance?
Jay Asher
My breathing begins to slow. The tension in my muscles starts to relax. Then, a click in the headphones. A slow breath of air. I open my eyes to bright moonlight. And Hannah, with warmth. Thank you.
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
I swear, guys in groups are capable of the stupidest things. Like war, Kellan says, heaping napkins and ketchup packets onto her tray. And jumping off rooftops. And lighting their farts on fire, she says.
Jay Asher
This time, for the first time, I saw the possibilities in giving up. I even found hope in it.
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
A lot of you cared, just not enough.
Jay Asher
I want to collapse. I want to fall on the sidewalk right there and drag myself to the ivy.
Jay Asher
I left. When I should have stayed.
