Jay Asher

Jay Asher
I miss video games where the jump-kick was the trickiest combo to master.
Jay Asher
And everyone knows you can’t disprove a rumor.
Jay Asher
Maybe you didn't know what people thought of you because they themselves didn't know what they thought of you. Maybe you didn't give us enough to go on, Hannah.
Jay Asher
Sometimes we have thoughts that even we don't understand. Thoughts that aren't even true—that aren't really how we feel—but they're running through our heads anyway because they're interesting to think about.
Jay Asher
Whenever I'm out late she makes a sandwich for my school lunch. I always protest and tell her not to, saying I'll make my own when I get home. But she likes it. She says it reminds her of when I was younger and needed her.
Jay Asher
The longer you wait, and this is true, the slower the hands will move.
Jay Asher
Teens in the '90s had the same basic desires as they do now.
Jay Asher
And what about you-the rest of you-did you notice the scars you left behind? No. Probably not. Because most of them can't be seen with the naked eye.
