It strikes me how strange people are. You can see them every day - you can think you know them - and then you fшnd out you hardly know them at all.
Lauren Oliver
amazingly, i'd actually forgotten that i'm supposed to be plain. i'm so used to alex telling me i'm beautiful. i'm so used to feeling beautiful around him. a hollow opens up in my chest. this is what life will be like without him: everything will become ordinary again. i'll become ordinary again.
