Jenny Downham
If you want a girl to like you, you have to listen like a woman and love like a man.
Jenny Downham
I wish I had a boyfriend. I wish he lived in the wardrobe on a coat hanger. Whenever I wanted, I could get him out and he'd look at me the way boys do in films, as if I'm beautiful.
Jenny Downham
I shrug him off. 'Can't you just go away? There's a moment. It has a sound in it, as if something very small got broken.
Jenny Downham
No, really. I free you.' I don't want to be free.
Jenny Downham
Moments. All gathering towards this one.
Jenny Downham
Was this love? Because it hurt. It was like a bit of glass stuck somewhere important--his heart or his head, and it was throbbing.
Jenny Downham
Every seven years our bodies change, every cell. Every seven years, we disappear.
Jenny Downham

Jenny Downham
