More quotes by Jenny Downham
Hold my hand. Don't let go.
Jenny Downham

I'm here. Soon I won't be. Zoey's baby is here. Its pulse tick-ticking. Soon it won't be. And when Zoey comes out of that room, having signed on the dotted line, she'll be different. She'll understand what I already know- that death surrounds us all. And it tastes like metal between you teeth.
Jenny Downham

Jenny Downham
And now he's down this for me. He's made me famous. He's put my name on the world.
Jenny Downham
Adam strokes my head, my face, he kisses my tears. We are blessed. Let them all go. The sound of a bird flying low across the garden. Then nothing. Nothing. A cloud passes. Nothing again. Light falls through the window, falls onto me, into me. Moments. All gathering towards this one.
Jenny Downham
If you want a girl to like you, you have to listen like a woman and love like a man.
Jenny Downham
Every seven years our bodies change, every cell. Every seven years, we disappear.
Jenny Downham

Jenny Downham
It's as if a child with a brush and too much enthusiasm has been set free with a tin of black paint inside me.
Jenny Downham
I lean back on the pillows and look at the corners of the room. When I was a kid, I always wanted to live on the ceiling - it looked so clean and uncluttered, like the top of a cake.
